So, the other day I was watching this documentary about race cars, and they kept mentioning speeds in kilometers per hour. I’m used to miles per hour, so I was like, “How fast is that really?” I had this specific number stuck in my head – 92 km/h. Needed to know what that was in mph.
First thing I did was, you guessed it, I pulled out my phone and just googled it. I typed in something like “92 km to mph”.
What I find? I’m lazy man, so I copy it, and then I find this conversion factor, this magic number: 0.62137119223696.
How I Did the Conversion:
It’s not rocket * is really easy!
- Find the Conversion Factor:I get the magic number,which is ‘0.62137119223696’.You can find the data on internet.
- Do the Math: Then I grabbed my phone’s calculator and punched in 92, then hit the multiply button, and then typed in that long decimal, 0.62137119223696.
- The Answer!: The calculator spit out 57.1661496858.
So yeah, 92 kilometers per hour is about 57.17 miles per hour.I’m happy,because it’s really fast!
