Math wizard time:
1 mile = 1.6 km or
1 km = .62 miles
This is close enough to the fraction 5/8 to convert Kilometers/kph to Miles/mph. Use 8/5 to go from Miles to Kilometers.
30 mph ~= 48 kph
50 mph ~= 80 kph
62.5 mph ~= 100 kph
70 mph ~= 112.5 kph
125 mph ~= 200 kph
17500 mph (orbital velocity) ~= 28000 kph
I'm surprised seizetheday didn't chime in here. He's from the Great White North.
