I tin ever expect it upwards on that refrigerator magnet. This i local realtor likes to post me freebies similar the refrigerator magnet amongst the mutual conversion factors.

If y'all don't select a handy refrigerator magnet, y'all tin endeavour the units command-line utility program.

 # apt-get install units 

 # units 60km miles  * 37.282272  / 0.0268224
