To find out how long it will take Jesse to walk 26 miles, we can set up a proportion using the given information: 16 miles / 3 hours = 26 miles / x hours.
Cross multiplying, we get: 16x = 3 * 26.
Simplifying, we have: 16x = 78.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 16, we get: x = 78 / 16.
Calculating, we find that it will take Jesse about 4.9 hours to walk 26 miles.
Therefore, the correct answer is About 4.9 hours.
