Let's begin by stating that a mile is equal to 5,280 feet.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute, there are 60*60=3600 seconds in an hour.

Now let's convert 64m/h to ft/s:


(64m)/(h)\cdot(1h)/(3600s)\cdot(5280ft)/(1m)=(64\cdot5280ft)/(3600s)=(337920ft)/(3600s)=93.86\ldots(ft)/(s)

In other words, 64m/h is equal to approximately 93.87ft/s.
