Hi

1 mile is 5280 feet.

1 hours is 3 600 seconds

So 25 mi/h is 25* 5280 = 132 000 feets in 3 600 seconds.

So : 132 000 /3 600 = 1 320 / 36 =36.66

25 mi/h≈ 36.6666 ft/s

There are 5280 feet to 1 mile, and 3600 seconds to 1 hour. So

(25 mi/h) × (5280 ft/mi) × (1/3600 h/s) = 110/3 ft/s ≈ 36.7 ft/s
