If I am traveling in a car at a speed of 95 feet per second, what is the approximate speed in miles per hour ?
1 mile = 5280 feet.
1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.
Therefore:
1 mile/hour
= 5280 feet/3600 seconds = 1.47 feet/second.
To convert feet per second to miles per hour - divide by 1.47
Therefore:
95 / 1.47 = 64.62 mph

Answer:
64.62 miles per hour
