 WolframLanguage has a units framework! Try e.g.: c = EntityValue[Entity["PhysicalConstant", "SpeedOfLight"], "Value"]; speedF35 = Quantity[1200, "Miles"/"Hours"]; Maybe there are some more problems with your code, but I cannot try, because you posted just a picture of code.

 gamma[beta_] := 1/Sqrt[1 - beta^2] c = 299792458 ; (*speed of light, m/s*) Mile = 1600 ;(*Meter*) Hour = 3600 ;(*Second*) speedF35 = 1200.*Mile/Hour; betaF35 = speedF35/c; gammaF35 = gamma[betaF35]; SetOptions[SelectedNotebook[], PrintPrecision -> 30] Print["Speed of F35 = ", speedF35, " m/s"] Print["beta of F35 = ", betaF35] Print["Lorentz factor of F35 = ", gammaF35] Speed of F35 = 533.3333333333333 m/s beta of F35 = 1.7790085077234774*10^-6 Lorentz factor of F35 = 1.0000000000015825

 Please post actual code rather than images thereof (can use the image to show the error message). Also indicate what you have tried in order to debug the problem.
