A car travels 68 mph. How fast is the car going in feet per sec
Miles (mi) to feet (ft) ...=>... %281mi%29+%2A+5280+=+%28ft%29
Hours (h) to seconds (s)...=>...%281h%29%2A3600=%28s%29
Miles (mi) per seconds (s)...=>...5280+ft%2F3600=+1.46666%28ft%2Fs%29

Miles/hour (mph) to feet/second (ft/s) ...=>... %28mph%29+%2A+1.466666+=+%28ft%2Fs%29


so, you have...=>...%2868mph%29+%2A+1.466666+=+99.733288%28ft%2Fs%29
