- Page id: `mph-to-feet-per-second` · Quantity: Speed (`speed`, base unit m/s) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mph-to-feet-per-second · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mph-to-feet-per-second.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/mph-to-feet-per-second.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s`
- `feet per second = miles per hour × 1.466666667`
- Reverse: `miles per hour = feet per second × 0.6818181818`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 mph = 7.33333 ft/s
- 12.5 mph = 18.3333 ft/s
- 100 mph = 146.667 ft/s

## FAQ

**How many feet per second are in one mile per hour?**

1 mph = 1.46667 ft/s. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert miles per hour to feet per second?**

Multiply the value in miles per hour by 1.466666667: feet per second = miles per hour × 1.466666667. For example, 5 mph = 7.33333 ft/s.

**How do I convert feet per second back to miles per hour?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.6818181818 (miles per hour = feet per second × 0.6818181818), or use the feet per second-to-miles per hour page.
