Yes. The car is exceeding the speed limit of 55.0 mi/h.

Explanation:

Identify the equalities needed to answer the question.

"1 mi=1609.34 m"

"1 h=3600 s"

Multiply "28.8 m/s" by the equalities so as to cancel meters and seconds.

28.8 cancel"m"/cancel"s"xx(1"mi")/(1609.34cancel"m")xx(3600cancel"s")/(1"h")="64.4 mi/h" (rounded to three significant figures)

The car is exceeding the speed limit of 55.0 mi/h.
