To convert miles to kilometers, you can use the conversion factor that 1 kilometer equals 0.62 miles. Therefore, to find how many kilometers equal 16 miles, you can set up the equation:

\[ \text{k} = \frac{\text{miles}}{0.62} \]

Substituting in the value for miles:

\[ \text{k} = \frac{16}{0.62} \approx 25.8 \]

So, 16 miles is approximately 25.8 kilometers when rounded to the nearest tenth.

The answer is 25.8 kilometers.
