Answer:

0.311 mile

Explanation:

There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour.

Thus, 70 mph, when multiplied by the appropriate conversion factors, comes out to:

70 mi 1 hr

--------- * --------------- = 0.019 mi/sec

1 hr 3600 sec

and so the desired distance is found by multipying (0.019 mi/sec) by 16 sec:

0.311 mile
