- If we want to convert 50 mi to km, the calculation would be 50 mi x 1.60934 = 80.467 km.
Remember that the mile (mi) is a unit of length measurement mainly used in the imperial system, while the kilometer is part of the metric system, used in most countries.
In car speed, to convert miles per hour (mph) to kilometers per hour you multiply the value in miles per hour by 1.609. An example:
- If you want to know how many kilometers per hour are 60 miles per hour, you do the following operation: 60 miles/hour x 1.609 km/mile = 96.54 km/hour.
In which countries is the mile used?
The countries where the mile is still the standard unit of measurement for distances, especially on roads and traffic signs, are mainly: United States, and in some contexts in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, etc. In reality, there are remnants in most countries that were British colonies.
