Speed is the rate of change in distance covered by a moving body. It is given by dividing distance covered and time taken.
She takes 3 seconds to read the text which is equivalent to 3/ 3600 ( since 1hr=3600 secs) . we get 0.00833 hours.
Distance is given by speed × time
   = 60 km/h × 0.00833 hrs = 0.05 km
Therefore, the car moved a distance of 0.05 km while she read the text.
