convert.exe says otherwise. Lay out the factors instead of skipping a step and you will see the labels reduce as you multiply.

Think of it this way. If I go 2250 miles per hour, how many miles do I go in one minute? 2250 / 60 = 37.5 miles. If I go 37.5 miles in one minute, how many miles do I go in one second? 37.5 / 60 = .625 Wrong answer - the proof for your method fails.

Now try it for 5760. 5760 / 60 = 96 miles per minute. 96 / 60 = 1.6 miles/second. QED.

Stay away from that 5th grader show.
