Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 1.5: 2 × 1.5 ≈ 3 fps, against the exact 2.933333 fps (2.3% 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 bigger than a foot per second, so the number of feet per second must come out larger than the number of miles per hour. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
