1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to convert 3232 m/s to mph using the given conversion factor 88 km/h =5= 5 mph.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert 3232 m/s to km/h.
We know that 11 km =1000= 1000 m, and 11 hour =3600= 3600 seconds.
So, 11 m/s =(1/1000)= (1/1000) km / (1/3600)(1/3600) h =(3600/1000)= (3600/1000) km/h =3.6= 3.6 km/h.
Therefore, 3232 m/s =32×3.6= 32 \times 3.6 km/h =115.2= 115.2 km/h.
Now, use the given conversion 88 km/h =5= 5 mph to convert 115.2115.2 km/h to mph.
We can write the conversion factor as 5 mph8 km/h\frac{5 \text{ mph}}{8 \text{ km/h}}.
Multiply 115.2115.2 km/h by this conversion factor:
115.2 km/h×5 mph8 km/h=115.2×58 mph=5768 mph=72 mph115.2 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{5 \text{ mph}}{8 \text{ km/h}} = \frac{115.2 \times 5}{8} \text{ mph} = \frac{576}{8} \text{ mph} = 72 \text{ mph}.

3. Final Answer

The final answer is 72 mph.
