Establish the conversions
...
1 mi = 1609.34 m
1 mi = 1.60934 km
1 h = 3600 s
...
evaluate the change in units
mi%2Fh to m%2Fs
%28cross%28mi%29%2Fcross%28h%29%29%28cross%28h%29%2Fs%29%28m%2Fcross%28mi%29%29
Plug in the numbers
%2825%29%281%2F3600%29%281609.34%2F1%29+=+40233.5%2F3600+=+11.18m/s
...
evaluate the change in units
mi%2Fh to km%2Fh
%28cross%28mi%29%2Fh%29%28km%2Fcross%28mi%29%29
plug the numbers
%2825%29%281.60934%2F1%29+=+40.23km/h

----
25 (miles/hour)
------
= (25*1 *1)(miles/hour)(1*0.000621*3600)(meters/second)
-----
= (25/2.2356)(meters/second)
-----
= 11.18 (meters/second)
==================================
To km/h
25(miles/hour)(1 km/0.621 mile)
---------
= (25*1)/(1/0.621)(km/hour)
------
= 40.257 (km/hr)
===================
