1. What is Mileage Per Hour?

Mileage per hour is a measure of speed or efficiency that calculates how many miles are covered in one hour. It's commonly used to measure travel speed, fuel efficiency, or performance rates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

\[ \text{Mileage} = \frac{\text{Miles}}{\text{Hours}} \]

Where:

Miles — Distance traveled in miles
Hours — Time taken in hours

Explanation: This calculation divides the total distance by the total time to determine the average speed or efficiency per hour.

3. Importance of Mileage Calculation

Details: Calculating mileage per hour is essential for travel planning, fuel efficiency measurement, athletic performance tracking, and various transportation and logistics applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total miles traveled and the total hours taken. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
