When jumping, a flea accelerates at an astounding 000 m/s2, but over only the very short distance of 0.70 mm. If a flea jumps straight up, and if air resistance is neglected (a rather poor approximation in this situation), how high does the flea go?

Hi I am in phyiscs I and it has the problem a runner ran the marathon (approx. 26.1) in 2 hours and 57 min. What was the average speed of the runner in m/s? I understand that I would have to divide the total distance by the total time, but I'm not sure how they changed the miles to meters. Please break it down so I can understand. I tried to solve it how you guys did it but I keep getting another answer. Thank you!
1 A car has acceleration of 1.20 m/s2 and starts from 2.50 m/s. What is its speed after 5.00 seconds, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. 2 A car is traveling at 30 m/s ( The driver applies the brakes and the car comes to a stop in 4.0 s What is the car's acceleration, in m/s2?
