A person measures the velocity of a biker riding in a straight line along a sidewalk using a stopwatch. The time it took for the biker to pass 45 squares on the sidewalk was 5.87 seconds. The area of the squares on the sidewalk was measured to be 2969 in². Calculate the velocity of the biker in m/s. Note: 1 in = 2.54 cm Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
