The formula to calculate the estimated time in hours to walk a certain number of steps is:
\[ T = \left( \frac{S}{SP} \right) / MPH \]
Where:
Steps to Hours is a conversion method used to estimate the amount of time it would take to walk a certain number of steps. This is based on the average walking speed of a person, which is typically around 3 to 4 miles per hour, or roughly 2,000 to 2,500 steps per mile. Therefore, the number of steps is divided by the average steps per mile and then divided by the average miles per hour to get the estimated time in hours. This can be useful for planning walks or hikes, or for estimating the time required for a certain amount of physical activity.
Example:
Calculation:
\[ T = \left( \frac{5000}{2000} \right) / 3 = 0.83 \text{ hours} \]
