Assume you mean change (92feet/second) to mph
First find how many you would travel in 3600 sec which is 1 hr
Divide that by 5280, to convert feet to miles
:
= 62.73 mph

Just in terms of units:
( ft / sec ) x ( sec / hr ) x ( mi / ft ) =
( sec / sec ) x ( ft / ft ) x ( mi / hr ) = mi / hr
--------------------

mi/hr

You just need to reduce that to get: mph. This is if you're trying to CONVERT 95 f/s to mph.
