You're right, I added the parts in parenthesis after but it's not totally correct. The 175 day is how long someone on Mercury would feel like "a day" ie from noon to noon.

>Mercury: 47.87 km/s (107,082 miles per hour), or a period of about 87.97 days
Fun fact: A year on Mercury is 88 Earth days, but because of rotational resonance, a day is 175 Earth days if you were standing on Mercury.
