Question 135945: How many miles per hour do I travel at when traveling at one furlong per fort night? Found 2 solutions by Earlsdon, stanbon:Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert to miles per hour:
One furlong per fortnight.
1 furlong = 1/8 mile.
1 fortnight = 14 days = (14)(24) hours = 336 hours.
1 furlong per fortnight = 1/8 mile per 336 hours = 0.000372 MPH...and that's really moving along!

--------
Change furlongs to miles:
furlong = 220 yrds. = (220/1760) = (1/8)miles: So use ((1/8)m/1furlong)
--------------------------------
Change fortnight to hours:
fortnight = 2 weeks = 14*24= 336 hours: So use (1 fortnight/336 hrs)
--------------------------------
Therefore:
(1 furlong/1 fortnight)*((1/8)m/1furlong)*(1 fortnight/336 hrs)
= (1*(1/8)*1)/(1*1*336) = 0.0003730... miles/hour
