Relativity question

OK, Energy = Mass X Speed of Light Sq.

I understand the principle, that this translates to a BIG number and thus a
lot of energy is contained in matter. Yes, matter is essentially frozen
energy. Stipulated.

By I'm thrown by the SPEED of light thing. If something has a mass of 10
grams and I multiply it by 386,000 mph it doesn't make sense. Is there a
scientific conversion from speed to some other unit????? How do you
multiply mass times speed? Or is it just representational? Can the
explanation be simplified?

Doink.
