You can go thru all the unit changes, or remember that 15 mph = 22 ft/sec
65 mph = 65*22/15 fps
= 95.333... fps

The posted speed limit on many US highways is 65 miles per hour. What is this speed in feet per second?
-------------------
65 (miles/hour)(5280 ft./mile)(1 hour/3600 seconds)
---
= (65*5280*1/1*1*3600)(feet/second)
---
= (95.3333..) feet/second
