How do you convert a speed in miles per hour in to a speed in feet per second?

Question

Math summer project plz show how u found the answer. thanks

Answer 1

mi/hr x 5280ft/mi x hr/60min x min/60sec = ft/sec
everything else should be cancelled out except for ft/sec

Answer 2

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 seconds, so
1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Multiply miles per hour by 5280 to get feet per hour.
Divide result by 3600 to get feet per second.

For example, 60 miles/hour = 60 x 5280 feet/hour =
316800 feet/hour = 316800 feet/3600 seconds =
88 feet/second.

Alternatively, you can just multiply miles per hour by 5280/3600, which is reduced to 22/15, or 1.46666666... in decimal form.

Answer 3

feet per second, fist you convert feet to miles (5280 ft equal a mile)

so multiply the feet by 5280

then convert second to hour (3600 seconds in a hour)
multiply the seconds by 3600

Answer 4

multiply 5280 times MPH then divide that by 60 then 60 again

Answer 5

depends what you're looking for, but if you know that 1mile = 5280feet and 1 hour = 60 min= 3600sec, then using conversion you can figure out whatever you need

Answer 6

15 mph = 22 ft/sec.
Multiply by 22 and divide by 15.

Answer 7

Go to google search for speed conversions i.e. MPH to FPS. Type in your specific distances in MPH then press convert, and there you have it in FPS.

Answer 8

1mile=5280 feet
1 hour=60sec/min *60min/hr=3600seconds
1mile/1hour=5280feet/3600sec
=1.46666666ft./sec.

Answer 9

60mph=88ft/s.
