Approximately #37# miles per hour

Explanation:

The conversion of kilometers to miles per hour is:

#1# kilometer per hour = #0.621371# miles per hour

So now we're going to multiply #0.621371# by #60# because the sign is not just 1 km/h, but 60 km/h.

#60 xx 0.621371 =37.28226# #"mph"#
or approximately #37# miles per hour.
