Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.3: 60 × 0.3 ≈ 18 mps, against the exact 18.288 mps (1.6% 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 foot per second is smaller than a meter per second, so the number of meters per second must come out smaller than the number of feet per second. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
