1) The amplitude is the maximum displacement
2) I do not understand what is meant by "the total distance traveled by the wave" The wave keeps on traveling and does not stop. They must be referring to the length of one wave, which would be the wavelength. In that case it is 16.0 m
3) frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength)
= 50/16 = 3.12 Hz
i got the same answers you got but they are being read a sincorrect in my assignment.
