Distance from Speed and Time - Miles

Speed in Miles/Hour mph
Travel Time hr min
Decimal Rounding #

Results:

Distance Traveled in Miles mi
Distance Traveled in Kilometres km

Calculator

  1. enter the speed in miles per hour
  2. the time of travel in hours and or minutes
  3. number of digits after the decimal point for the results

Result

  1. the distance traveled in miles
  2. the distance traveled in kilometres

Formula

distance = speed * time

Example

You are travelling 96 miles per hour (speed and time) for 1 hour and 30 minutes (time).
Both speed/time and time have to be in the same units to make the multiplication.
Changing the 1 hour and 30 minutes into an hour format makes sense.

There are 60 minutes in one hour; to change one minute into hours, divide one by 60.
1 ÷ 60 = 0.01666666666666666666666666666667.
Multiply this amount by 30;
0.01666666666666666666666666666667 * 30 = 0.5
1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours
Multiply 96 miles per hour by 1.5 hours to get the distance;
96 * 1.5 = 144
At a speed of 96 miles per hour for one hour and 30 minutes, you will travel 144 miles.

Conversions

one hour = 60 minutes
one minute = 0.01666666666666666666666666666667 hours
one mile (mi) = 1.609344 kilometres (km)
