Introduction
Speed is a crucial factor in various aspects of our lives, from transportation to scientific research. It's essential to understand how to convert between different units of speed, such as miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). This article provides a comprehensive guide to converting 100 mph to km/h, exploring various methods and applications.
There are several ways to convert 100 mph to km/h:
Method 1: Multiplication
100 mph x 1.609 = 160.934 km/h
Method 2: Division
100 mph ÷ 1.609 = 160.934 km/h
Method 3: Online Converters
The above methods provide accurate conversions, with an error margin of less than 0.1%. According to the International System of Units (SI), km/h is the standard unit of speed. However, mph is still commonly used in some countries, particularly in the United States.
Converting between mph and km/h has numerous practical applications, including:
