If a baseball is traveling at a rate of 100 mph, what is the speed in m/s?
Solution
Lets convert miles to meters first as
 100 miles * 5280 feet / 1 mile * 12 in / 1 ft * 1m / 39 in. = 162,461.5385 meters
 second convert hr to sec as
 1hr * 60 min / 1 hr * 60 sec. / 1 min = 3600 sec
 ---
 now divide to get
 45.1282 m / s
