Yes, but then you have to divide by 60 to know how many hours
that work out to. 375 km at 100 kph is 3.75 hours. or 3 hours 45
minutes, while 375 mile requires division rather than just
sticking in a decimal point. 6 with a remainder of 15.

If we are going to make these things simple, why not use a digital
clock and calender. Now if we can just get the rotation of the earth
to be an even base 10 number, compared to it's circuit of the sun..

Time calculations would be a lot easier if we didn't have to deal with
TWO important natural cycles (day and year). The year isn't even a
multiple of the day (days per year is approximately 365.24).
