Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.9: 1 × 0.9 ≈ 0.9 fps, against the exact 0.91134442 fps (1.2% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A kilometer per hour is smaller than a foot per second, so the number of feet per second must come out smaller than the number of kilometers per hour. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
