To deter speeding through a residential area, the Police set up a speed trap on Illusion Drive. Between the hours of 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm, they time vehicles over a 50 meter distance. If the speed limit is 30 mph, what is the fastest a driver can cover this distance and NOT receive a ticket?

Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
