the Mach number is how many times the speed of sound an object is moving
find the speed of sound based on the air temperature
A fighter jet is flying at Mach 3.2 in air of temperature 2 degrees C. What is the planes speed?
I really don't understand how to do this question. I'd appreciate your help!

So I tried this:
Mach # = v/sound
3.2 = v/332.22
1063m/s =v
Vsound = 331 + 0.61(2 degrees C)
=332.22
Would the 1063m/s be the correct answer?
