To convert a 40-yard dash time to miles per hour (mph), you need to first convert the distance to miles. There are 1,760 yards in a mile, so 40 yards is 40/1760 = 0.0227 miles. Next, you need to calculate the time it took to cover this distance. A 5.1-second 40-yard dash translates to 5.1/3600 = 0.00142 hours. Finally, divide the distance by the time to get the speed: 0.0227 miles / 0.00142 hours = 15.99 mph. Therefore, a 5.1-second 40-yard dash is equivalent to approximately 15.99 mph.

40 yards = 120 feet = 120/5280 = .0227 miles

speed = distance /time = .0227/5.1 = .00445 miles per second

At 3660 seconds per hour, that is

.00445 x 3600 = 16 mph
