You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 mile=1.6093 km
he is traveling at 48.3 km/h
Since the answer is requested approximately, I will round to 48 km/h
That is 0.8 km/min or 20 minutes to travel 16 km.
--------------------
Check, 16 km is about 10 miles. It takes 20 minutes to travel 10 miles at 30 mph.
