Acceleration vs. thrust to weight ratio?

OpenStudy (doc.brown):

As I change my velocity I can measure it as a change in velocity over time.\[\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}\]

OpenStudy (doc.brown):

thrust to weight is thrust over mass time acceleration \[TWR =\dfrac{F_T}{m\times a_g}\]It's newtons over grams times meters per second squared\[\frac{N}{\frac{gm}{s}}\]

OpenStudy (doc.brown):

Why do the fractions work out so m/s/s = m/s^2 N/gm/s = Ns/gm Why does the first second get multiplied to the bottom, and the second to the top?
