To convert miles per hour (mph) to kilometers per hour (km/h), you can use the following step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
1 mile is equal to approximately 1.60934 kilometers. This conversion factor will be used to convert mph to km/h.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
To convert mph to km/h, you need to multiply the given value in mph by the conversion factor.
Step 3: Perform the conversion
Let’s say you have a speed of 60 mph that you want to convert to km/h. Using the conversion factor, the calculation would be as follows:
60 mph * 1.60934 km/mi = 96.5604 km/h
So, 60 mph is equal to 96.5604 km/h.
Step 4: Round the result (if necessary)
Depending on the level of precision required, you may need to round the result to a certain number of decimal places. In this case, the result is already rounded to five decimal places.
Therefore, to convert any given value in mph to km/h, multiply the value by 1.60934.
