Answer

$347.89$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} c=340.3 \sqrt{\frac{T+273.15}{288.15}}. \end{equation} Set $T = 28$ to find the speed of sound at sea level. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} c&=340.3 \sqrt{\frac{28+273.15}{288.15}}\\ &=340.3 \cdot \left(1.0223089\right)\\ & = 347.89. \end{aligned} \end{equation} The speed of sound at sea level is about $347.89$.
