miles per hour = meters per second × 2.236936. So 44.704 meters per second is back to 100 miles per hour; one meter per second is 2.236936 miles per hour. See the meters per second to miles per hour table.
Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.4: 100 × 0.4 ≈ 40 mps, against the exact 44.704 mps (10.5% 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 mile per hour is smaller than a meter per second, so the number of meters per second must come out smaller than the number of miles per hour. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
