It depends on the temperature of the air at the time. If you know the temperature, you can use the atmospheric properties calculator on the aerospaceweb.org website.

Using the standard atmospheric model (assumes a temperature at sea level of 60°F), the speed of sound is 1,116.4 ft/s.

The speed of sound is about 700 miles per hour
you do the multiplication and division.

well, that depends on temperature , at 59-60 degrees, it would be 1,116.4 fp/s. or 761.2 M/PH.
