| There is an alternative way to convert from miles to kilometres, and vice versa, without having to multiply or divide (Letters, 3 August). The ratio of successive numbers in the Fibonacci series approximates to 1.6, so to convert from miles to kilometres you just need to move to the next number in the series, and the previous number when converting from kilometres to miles. Thus, 8 miles is approximately 13km; 20km (13+5+2) equates to approximately 12 miles (8+3+1). It may not be quicker, but it does help to while away long journeys.Malcolm Myles-HookWhitchurch, Shropshire | There is an alternative way to convert from miles to kilometres, and vice versa, without having to multiply or divide (Letters, 3 August).
