To convert kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mph), you can use the following step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Understand the conversion factor
1 kilometer is equal to 0.621371 miles. This is the conversion factor we will use to convert km/h to mph.
Step 2: Set up the conversion equation
The conversion equation is: miles per hour = kilometers per hour × conversion factor.
Step 3: Plug in the values
Let’s say you have a speed of 60 km/h that you want to convert to miles per hour. Plug this value into the equation:
miles per hour = 60 km/h × 0.621371.
Step 4: Perform the calculation
Multiply 60 km/h by 0.621371:
miles per hour = 37.28226 mph.
Step 5: Round the answer (optional)
If you want to round the answer to a certain number of decimal places, you can do so. In this case, rounding to two decimal places gives us:
miles per hour ≈ 37.28 mph.
So, 60 km/h is approximately equal to 37.28 mph.
Remember, the conversion factor of 0.621371 is an approximation, so the result may not be exact.
