you need to convert km in miles
1 mile = 1.6 km
? miles = 95 km
cross product and you get 95*1 = 1.6*?
? = 95/1.6 = 59.275 miles
the unit of time is hour for both so you don't need any conversion for that so the answer is
59.275 mph

your welcome! the hard part is know the conversion between km and miles, I believe it would be given in an exam but when you do your homework you can just google it if you are not sure.
