The main conversions

To go from mph to km/h, multiply by 1.609: 60 mph = 96.6 km/h. From km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6. A knot is one nautical mile per hour, about 1.151 mph or 1.852 km/h.

Where each unit shows up

mph on US and UK car speedometers; km/h across most other countries; m/s in physics problems and wind reports; knots in sailing and aviation, where speeds and winds are quoted in nautical miles per hour.
