1.609347 km = 1 mile

Therefore, we get:

%2835km%2F1hr%29+%2A+%281mi%2F1.609347km%29_______%2835cross%28km%29%2F1hr%29+%2A+%281mi%2F1.609347cross%28km%29%29_______%2835mi%29%2F1.609347hr_______highlight_green%28highlight_green%2821.74795119%29%29 mi/h



1,000 m = 1 km, and 3,600 sec = 1 hr

Therefore, we get:

%2835km%2F1hr%29+%2A+%281000m%2F1km%29+%2A+%281hr%2F3600sec%29_________%2835000m%29%2F3600sec _____highlight_green%28highlight_green%289.722222222%29%29 m/s
