Convert Miles per hour to Inches per second

Miles per hour → Inches per second
mph × 17.6 = in/s in/s × 0.05681818 = mph

To convert miles per hour (mph) to inches per second (in/s), multiply the miles per hour value by 17.6. 1 mph = 17.6 in/s, and 1 in/s = 0.05681818 mph. 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 mph.
