Answer:

d = 404.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We take our eyes off the road for about 4.6 seconds according to a recent study.

Speed, v = 60 mph

We need to find the distance travel by you with your eyes not on the road. Let it is d.

Speed, v = d/t

d = vt

We know that, 1 mile = 5280 feet

[tex]d=\dfrac{60\times 5280\ \text{feet}}{3600\ s}\times 4.6\ s\\\\=404.8\ \text{feet}[/tex]

Hence, the required distance is 404.8 feet.
