Multiply the speed in mph by 5,280
193*5280
193*5280
Multiply 193 by 5280 to get 1019040.
1019040
Then
Divide the speed in feet per hour by 3,600 seconds per hour
(1019040)/(3600)
Reduce the expression (1019040)/(3600) by removing a factor of 240 from the numerator and denominator.
(4246)/(15)
The approximate value of (1019040)/(3600) is 283.07.
283.07 feet per second
