Answer:

Car would have traveled
1.283 miles more with the extra time

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the car -
70 miles per hour

Speed of car in miles per second


(70)/(60* 60)


= 0.0194 miles per second

Time wasted in talking instead of travelling


66 seconds and
513 milliseconds

Total time wasted in seconds


66 + (513)/(1000) \\66 + 0.513


66.153 seconds

Distance that would have been traveled in this time instead of talking


0.0194 miles per second
* 66.153 seconds


= 0.0194 * 66.153 miles


= 1.283 miles
