Feet To Mph Calculator

The Feet to MPH Calculator helps you convert speeds or distances traveled in feet into miles per hour (mph), a commonly used unit for speed in transportation and athletics. This conversion is especially useful in sports timing systems, engineering, and physics where distance is measured in feet, but results need to be expressed in mph. The tool automates the process to provide quick, accurate results for decision-making and planning.

1. If you already know the speed in feet per second:

Miles per Hour = Feet per Second × 0.681818

Where:
0.681818 is derived from:
(1 mile / 5280 feet) × (3600 seconds / 1 hour)

2. If you have distance in feet and time in seconds:

Miles per Hour = (Feet / Time in seconds) × 0.681818

3. If your time is in minutes:

Miles per Hour = (Feet / Time in minutes) × 0.0113636

Because:
0.0113636 = (1 mile / 5280 feet) × (60 minutes / 1 hour)

Rearranged Forms:

• Feet per Second = mph / 0.681818
• Time (sec) = Feet / (mph / 0.681818)

These formulas make it easier to calculate time or distance from speed data.

Table: Common Feet and Time Values Converted to MPH

Distance (Feet)	Time (Seconds)	Speed (MPH)
100	2	34.09
300	10	20.45
5280	60	59.27
2640	30	59.27
1320	15	59.27
880	15	39.52

This table gives quick reference values that people often look up when comparing foot-based measurements to miles per hour.

Example of Feet To Mph Calculator

Imagine you're timing a sprinter who covers 300 feet in 8.5 seconds. You want to know their speed in mph.

Step-by-step:

Miles per Hour = (Feet / Time in seconds) × 0.681818
= (300 / 8.5) × 0.681818
= 35.29 × 0.681818 ≈ 24.06 mph

So, the athlete was running at approximately 24.06 mph.
