Explanation:

1 mile = 1.61 km and 1 km = 1000 m

The speed of light is [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]. We need to convert it into miles per hour.

1 m = (1/1000) km

[tex]3\times 10^8\ m=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1000}\\\\=3\times 10^5\ km[/tex]

1 km = (1/1.61) miles

[tex]3\times 10^5\ km =\dfrac{3\times 10^5}{1.61}\\\\=1.86\times 10^5\ \text{miles}[/tex]

So, [tex]v=1.86\times 10^5\ \text{miles/s}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
