We have
$1 \; mile = 1609.34\; meters$ . So,
$1 \; meter = (1)/(1609.34) \;mile$ .

$1 \; hour = 3600 \; s$ . So
$1 \; s = (1)/(3600)  \; hour$ .

Thus we can convert the units of the given quantity.

That is,

$593\;m/s=593\;(1/1609.34)/(1/3600) \;miles/hour\\ 593\;m/s=1,326.51\;miles/hour$ .

The quantity is converted to the required units.
