The dolphin travelled a total of 31 meters.

Every second, the dolphin travelled 16% of 31 meters which is

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{16}{100}\times31\text{ meters } \\ =4.96\text{ meters} \end{gathered}[/tex]

After 3 seconds, the dolphin will travel

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\times4.96 \\ =14.88\text{ meters} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is 14.88 meters
