Understanding MPH and KPH

• Miles per Hour (mph)

  • Used in the United States, UK, and a few other countries.

  • Measures how many miles an object travels in one hour.

• Kilometers per Hour (kph)

  • Used in most countries worldwide (metric system).

  • Measures how many kilometers an object travels in one hour.

Conversion Formula

The conversion between mph and kph is based on the relationship between miles and kilometers:

MPH to KPH

$$\text{KPH}=\text{MPH}\times 1.60934$$

*(1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers)*

KPH to MPH

$$\text{MPH}=\text{KPH}\times 0.621371$$

(1 kilometer ≈ 0.621371 miles)
