To convert from miles to meters, we can use the conversion factor: 1 mile = 1609.34 meters.
To convert from minutes to hours, we can use the conversion factor: 1 hour = 60 minutes.
So, the speed in meters per hour can be found using the following calculation:
0.75 miles x (1609.34 meters/1 mile) = 1206.755 meters.
5.8 minutes x (1 hour/60 minutes) = 0.09667 hours.
Now, we can divide the distance in meters by the time in hours to find the speed:
1206.755 meters / 0.09667 hours = 12479.407 meters per hour.
Therefore, the man's speed is approximately 12479.407 meters per hour.
