Change 350 ft/sec to miles/hr.
350 ft / 1 sec * 60 sec / 1 min * 60 min / 1 hr * 1 mile / 5280 ft =
238.6363 mph
Your airsoft gun is faster.

1 Mile = 5280 feet
180 = 950400 feet
3600 secs in an hour, right?
350 ft * 3600 secs = 1260000
1 Mile = 5280 feet
180 = 950400 feet
so as a result the airsuft gun travels faster

convert one or the other
lets convert 180 mph to ft per second
there are 5280 feet in one mile and 3600 seconds in one hour
so 180miles/hour x 5280feet/mile / 3600secs/ hour
= 267 feet per second
sot the airsoft gun is faster

Data:
airsoft gun => 350 feet/sec
paintball gun => 180 miles/hour
Solution:
airsoft gun => 350 feet/sec
airsoft gun => ? miles/hour
1)(5280 feet/mile)/(3600sec/hour) (conversion)
=(22feet/mile)/(15sec/hour)
2) ( 350 feet/sec) div (22feet/miles)/(15sec/hour)
= (350 x 15)/22
= 238.63 miles/hour
3) 238.63 miles/ hour > 180miles/hour
so, airsoft gun is faster than paintball gun.
