Velocity = (wave length ) (frequency)

You already have the velocity and the frequency (Hz is 1 cycle per second)

Just plug in and solve for the wavelength (it will be in meters)

wavelength = velocity / Frequency

wavelength = 343 / 440

wavelength = .7795m

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

Plug and chug from here.
