Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to miles per hour is 0.68181818181818, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.68181818181818 miles per hour:

1 ft/s = 0.68181818181818 mph

To convert 40 feet per second into miles per hour we have to multiply 40 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to miles per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.68181818181818 mph

40 ft/s → V_(mph)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in miles per hour:

V_(mph) = 40 ft/s × 0.68181818181818 mph

V_(mph) = 27.272727272727 mph

The final result is:

40 ft/s → 27.272727272727 mph

We conclude that 40 feet per second is equivalent to 27.272727272727 miles per hour:

40 feet per second = 27.272727272727 miles per hour
