what a lucky day

Actually, google will convert for you. No need for a separate program . Searching on "55km to mi" gives a first hit of 34.1754156 mi, then a more normal set of hits to other sites. You can do the same thing with quite a lot of other units. Very handy if your brain is programmed in English system. Or in metric.

My brain does both, but it kind of half-asses it. Some things I can only work in metric. Others I can only work in English. And some I never know quite what units my brain will use.

If you need to do a quicky conversion and dont have google in front of you, just remember 1.6 and remember kms are always a higher number than miles.

Use the calculator on your phone or watch... and you can go convert-crazy...

20miles x 1.6 = 32kms
(you multiply because the kms will always be a bigger number)


20kms / 1.6 = 12.5miles
(you divide because the miles will always be a smaller number)

Its not perfect to the fraction of the mile or kilometre, but its pretty close.
