1 mile = 5,280 feet.
1 hour = 3,600 seconds (60 seconds / minute * 60 minutes / hour)
Therefore 1 mile / hour = 5,280 feet / 3,600 seconds = 1.47 feet / second.
So to convert miles per hour to feet per second, multiply by 1.47.
And to convert feet per second to miles per hour, divide by 1.47.
So for example 110 feet per second = 110 / 1.47 mph = 75 mph.
And if you had it the other way, you'd take 75 mph * 1.47 to get 110 feet per second.
BTW, if you're trying to figure out how fast a 75 mph fastball gets to a hitter, first figure out that it travels 110 feet per second, and then divide 60.5 (the number of feet from the mound to homeplate) by 110 (the number of feet the ball would travel in one second) and get 0.55 seconds. So a 75 mph fastball takes just over half a second to reach the batter.

A baseball player throws a baseball 88 feet per second what is the speed of the pitch in miles per hour?
There are 3,600 seconds in an hour (60 seconds / minute * 60 minutes / hour). There are 5,280 feet in a mile. Therefore to convert feet / second into miles per hour, multiply by 3,600 / 5,280 (0.68) So 88 feet per second is 60 miles per hour. To go the other way (convert from miles per hour to feet per second), divide by 0.68.
How do you convert 60 miles per hour to feet per second?
First convert to feet per hour by converting the miles to feet by multiplying by 5280 as there are 5280 feet in a mile Now convert to feet per second by converting the hours to seconds, but as the time is on the bottom of speed = distance/time, divide by 3600 as there are 3600 seconds in an hour → 60 miles/hour = (60 × 5280) ÷ 3600 ft/s = 88 ft/s
Convert 70 miles per hour to feet sec?
(mph x 1.466 = feet per second). So, 70 mph x 1.466 = 102.62 feet per second.
Convert 45 miles per hour to feet per second?
The conversion factor is 1.466. So, 45 mph x 1.466 = 65.97 feet per second.
If you are going 60 miles per hour how many feet is that?
You are traveling at 88 feet per second at 60 miles per hour.
