Converting from Mile per second (mps) to Seconds per mile (spm)

What is Mile per second (mps)

Mile per second (mps) is a unit of speed that represents the distance of one mile covered in one second. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering calculations to measure high-speed motion.

What is Seconds per mile (spm)

Seconds per mile (spm) is the reciprocal of mile per second, representing the time taken to cover one mile. It is useful in scenarios where time taken to cover a distance is more relevant than speed.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formula between mps and spm can be derived from their definitions:

1 mps=1 spm1​

1 spm=1 mps1​

For other conversions, the formulas would be:

16 mps=161​ spm

16 spm=161​ mps

13 mps=131​ spm

13 spm=131​ mps

7 mps=71​ spm

7 spm=71​ mps

Examples

1. Convert 16 mps to spm:

16 mps=161​ spm=0.0625 spm

2. Convert 7 spm to mps:

7 spm=71​ mps=0.1428571 mps
