Equating m/s and m·Hz is perfectly correct if you're asked to calculate the linear speed of a vehicle, given the radius of its wheels and their rotation rate, assuming no slippage! This is of course equal, up to a change of frame, to the tangential speed of a point on the wheel rim, as a sibling commenter noted.
