jclark · Answer

It's a proportion. a/b = c/d

jclark · Answer

Meters/sec = miles /hour. Which is the unknown. Call it x

mrnood · Answer

there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour

so if it can run 29m in 1 second how many METRES can it run in 1 hour?

That will give you a speed in "Metres per Hour"

You then divide THAT by 1609 to give you miles per hour

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

$$29 m/s = x miles/hr$$
1m= 1/1609 miles
1s=1/3600 hour

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

$$\frac{29 \times \frac{1}{1609}}{\frac{1}{3600}} miles / hour = x \space miles/ hour$$
