The problem in the image is asking to convert a speed of 65 miles per hour (mph) to meters per second (m/s). The general approach for unit conversions involves multiplying by factors that cancel out unwanted units and leave you with the desired units.

To solve this, follow these steps:

1. **Convert hours to seconds**:
   \[
   1 \, \text{hour} = 3600 \, \text{seconds}
   \]
   So, you multiply by:
   \[
   \frac{1 \, \text{hour}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}}
   \]

2. **Convert miles to meters**:
   \[
   1 \, \text{mile} = 1609.34 \, \text{meters}
   \]
   So, you multiply by:
   \[
   \frac{1609.34 \, \text{meters}}{1 \, \text{mile}}
   \]

Now, applying these conversions:

\[
65 \, \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}} \times \frac{1609.34 \, \text{meters}}{1 \, \text{mile}} \times \frac{1 \, \text{hour}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} 
\]

The "miles" and "hours" cancel out, leaving you with:

\[
65 \times \frac{1609.34}{3600} \, \text{m/s}
\]

Let me calculate the final answer.The conversion of 65 miles per hour to meters per second is approximately **29.06 m/s**.
