I don't think "invented" is a good word in this case. If you want to describe the speed by which something is travelling you unavoidably end up with unit of distance/unit of time. Miles/hour was something that fitted vehicles very well. Yards/second would work, but measuring the distance between cities in yards gives awkward big numbers.
5,280 feet = 1 mile
It is 1609.344 metres per hour.
1 mile = 1.609344 kilometer 1 mile per hour = 1.609344 kilometer per hour 26.62 miles per hour = 42.841 kilometers per hour (rounded)
1.60934 km per hour
15 miles/hour
No, 1 mile per hour is equal to approximately 1.6 kilometers per hour, not 6.2.
1 mile per hour is further than 1 km per hour
1 mile per hour equates to 1609.344 meters per hour.
If you are going "one mile per hour", it takes exactly one hour to go a mile.
approximately 5.5 miles/hour ============= Solution Method: ----------------- There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. We often say there are 60 minutes per hour. We express this relationship mathematically as: 60 min/hr To convert miles/min to miles/hr, do the following: 1 mile/11 min * 60 min/1 hr = 60 / 11 = ~5.45 miles/hr (average speed) * Note: minutes cancel in the numerator & denominator). ----------------- Original answer: 60/11 = 5.45 recurring (that is, 5.45454...) miles per hour. Therefore, running a mile in 11 minutes corresponds to 5.45 recurring miles per hour.

1 mile = 1.609344 kilometer 100 miles per hour = 160.93 kilometers per hour 1,000 miles per hour = 1,609.3 kilometers per hour
1 mile = 1.609344 kilometer 1 mile per hour = 1.609344 kilometer per hour 26.62 miles per hour = 42.841 kilometers per hour (rounded)
1 mile per hour is 1 mile every 3600 seconds. I mile per second is 3600 times faster than this hence, 3600 miles per hour.
One knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour. Therefore, in terms of miles per minute, one knot is approximately 0.019 miles per minute.
