Q2: Can I use this for cycling?
A: Yes, as long as you input your cycling speed in mph and time in hours.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's accurate for constant speed. For variable speed, use average speed over the entire period.
Q4: How do I convert minutes to hours?
A: Divide minutes by 60 (e.g., 30 minutes = 0.5 hours).
Q5: What's a typical walking speed?
