Convert Feet per second to Inches per second

Feet per second → Inches per second
ft/s × 12 = in/s in/s × 0.08333333 = ft/s

To convert feet per second (ft/s) to inches per second (in/s), multiply the feet per second value by 12. 1 ft/s = 12 in/s, and 1 in/s = 0.08333333 ft/s. The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.

Going the other way? Convert in/s to ft/s.
