I came up with 88km/h as something else in m/s...

I multiplied 88 by 60 to get km/s and then divided by 1000 (that's my error... I should have multiplied by 1000 to get m/s) but then I get something ridiculously huge... if I divide, I get 5.28 m/s and then multiply that by .75 and subtract the product from 38.0 to get 34.04m as the distance from when he starts to brake...
