The two sets of numbers are for Miles per hour and Kilometers per hour. Some countries use the metric system to determine distance and some use what is known as the Standard system which uses miles to determine distance. By using both types of numbers on a speedometer an automobile company can then sell it's vehicles in many different countries regardless of which system they use and making it less expensive to produce two different types of speedometers.
