Why does the US use miles per hour instead of miles per minute?
Alayam8
Because many things in day-to-day experience, the speed of day-to-day objects such as cars, trains, planes, walkers, runners, can be measured in miles per hour and give distinguishable results - a car in town may be 30 mph, a walker 5 mph. In miles per minute they would all be moving at a fraction of a mile.
Although there is no mathematocal difference whichever unit you use, people prefer whole nimbers.
