What does mph on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
mph is the abbreviation for mile per hour, a unit of speed measurement, meaning miles per hour, commonly known as "mile". 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers per hour. Here is some related information: 1. Origin: Due to the late start of China's automotive industry, especially in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, foreign cars were predominant. Most of these cars used miles per hour as the unit for speed and odometer readings, so the habit of reading speed in "miles" persisted. 2. Conversion: In reality, the internationally unified unit for speed today is "kilometers per hour", and the distance of 1 kilometer is not the same as 1 mile. 1 mile = 1.609334 kilometers.
