If you want to know how fast something is moving in kilometres per hour (km/h) when you only know its speed in miles per hour (mph), you can use a simple calculator or formula to convert it.
Why Convert?
- Miles per hour (mph) is a unit used mostly in the US and UK.
- Kilometres per hour (km/h) is used in most other countries.
- If you want to understand speed or distance in km/h, you need to convert mph to km/h.
How to Convert
- 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometres.
- So, to convert miles per hour to kilometres per hour, multiply the speed in mph by 1.60934.
Formula
Speed in km/h=Speed in mph×1.60934
Example:
If a tractor is moving at 10 mph, then:
10×1.60934=16.0934 km/h
So, the tractor is moving about 16.1 km/h.
Using the Calculator
- Enter the speed in miles per hour.
- The calculator multiplies by 1.60934.
- It shows the speed in kilometres per hour.
This helps farmers understand speeds in local units or compare speeds if they see information in mph or km/h.
