Length, mass, volume, area, speed, temperature, data and energy.
The converters work from exact values rather than rounded ones: an inch is exactly 2.54 cm, a pound is 0.45359237 kg and a mile is 1.609344 km. For digital data, decimal and binary units are kept apart, because a gigabyte and a gibibyte differ by almost 7 %.

Speed from miles to kilometers
A 65 mile per hour speed limit — how many kilometers per hour is that? And how many minutes does 15 km take at that speed?
1 mile is 1.609344 km65 · 1.609344 = 104.6 km/h
Time is distance divided by speed15 / 104.6 = 0.1434 hours
Convert to minutes0.1434 · 60 = 8.6 minutes
Answer: 65 miles per hour is 104.6 km/h, and 15 km takes about 8 minutes 36 seconds.
