You can put this solution on YOUR website!
this is converting feet per second to miles per hour ... the measurement units can be cancelled like numbers in fractions

%28%28132+ft%29%2Fs%29%28%281+mi%29%2F%285280+ft%29%29%28%283600+s%29%2Fh%29 ... the ft and s cancel, leaving mi/h ... multiply numerators, divide by denominators
