An example: A football travels at A speed unknown. Measure A distance for travel. Throw the ball and time it with A stopwatch. Take the feet and devide by seconds. 100feet, for 8seconds = 12.5 feet/per second. multiply 12.5 (feet) by 60 (seconds in A minute) =750 feet/per minute multiply 750 (feet) by 60 (minutes in an hour) = 45,000 feet/per hour. Divide 45,000 (feet) by 5,280 (feet in A mile) = 8.522 Miles/per hour This will work for any measuring scale, You just need to know all the different measurement steps. I.E. - feet in A mile, seconds in A minute, minutes in an hour. ECT.
