How to convert miles per hour to meters per second

1 mph = 0.44704 m/s, so multiply by 0.44704 to go from miles per hour to meters per second. Going the other way, 1 m/s = 2.23693629205 mph.

m/s = mph × 0.44704
mph = m/s × 2.23693629205

Worked example:

1 mph = 0.44704 m/s
5 × 0.44704 = 2.2352 m/s
