In terms of units:
( yds / sec ) x ( ft / yd ) x ( mi / ft ) x ( sec / min ) x ( min / hr ) = mi / hr
----------

875yd%2F75s=+2625+ft%2F75s...first convert yards to feet
2625+ft%2F75s=35%28ft%2Fs%29...convert ft to miles, 1ft=0.0001894mil and seconds in hour 1s=0.0002778h
35%28ft%2Fs%29=35%2A+0.0001894%2F0.0002778%28mil%2Fh%29
35%28ft%2Fs%29=0.006629%2F0.0002778%28mil%2Fh%29
35%28ft%2Fs%29=23.863636363636367+%28mil%2Fh%29

so, 875yd%2F75s=23.863636363636367+%28mil%2Fh%29
