Answer: Yes, he is exceeding the speed limit

Explanation:

Hi!

This is problem about unit conversion

1 mile = 1,609.344 m

Then the speed limit v is:

v = 75 mi/h = 120,700.8 m/h

1 hour = 60 min = 60*60 s = 3,600 s

v = (120,700.8/3,600) m/s = 33.52 m/s

38 m/s is higher than the speed limit v.
