Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the given velocity in meters per second (m/s), which is 58 m/s in this problem.
Recall the conversion factors needed: 1 mile = 1609 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.
Convert the velocity from meters per second to miles per second by dividing by 1609 (meters per mile): \(\frac{58}{1609}\) miles per second.
Convert miles per second to miles per hour by multiplying by the number of seconds in an hour (3600): \(\frac{58}{1609} \times 3600\) miles per hour.
Simplify the expression to find the velocity in miles per hour (mph). This will give you the velocity in mph without calculating the exact number.
