    Expected speed: 400 m in 50 seconds

    Therefore, speed in m/sec = 8 m/sec

    Given: 1 mile = 1609 meters

    1 meter = 1/1609 miles

    1 hour = 60 sec x 60 sec = 3600 seconds

    1 second = 1/3600 hour

    To convert meters to miles, we should multiply it by 1/1609

    To convert seconds to hour, we should multiply it by 1/3600

    Therefore, 8 m/sec = 8 x (1/1609) Ă· (1/3600)

    = (8 x 3600) / 1609

    =17.9 miles / hr
