Hi Dave,
Well, you asked:
What's the conversion factor to change miles per hour to furlongs per
fortnight?
Terms:
1 Mile = 5280 feet
1 furlong = 660 feet
1 fortnight = 24 x 14 = 336 hours
Calculations:
1 mile/hr = 5280 feet/hour
1 furlong/fortnight = 660 feet/336 hours = ~1.96 feet/hour
Conversion:
For Furlongs/Fortnight to Miles/Hour 1.96/5280 = ~.00372 (multiply
by this factor)
For Miles/Hour to Furlongs/Fortnight 5280/1.96 = ~2688 (multiply
by this factor)
I wonder about the availability of the proper speedometer for this
application, and where are you going, anyway?
