speed of light changes according to the medium it is in.
in vacuum, speed of light is always 3x10^8 ms^ -1
formula required here is n= c/v
where n is refractive index
c is speed of light in vacuum,
v is speed of light in medium.
substitute the values n find the answer.

I hope you have given the data of refractive indexes correctly. Normally water has 4/3 and glass = 3/2. You have given the other way round.
