How to enter compound units?
So I've been using Sagemath for a few days and its an amazing piece of software, the units section is very interesting. However how would I use units like km/h or mph?

You can do something like:
sage: a = 3 * units.length.kilometer() / units.time.hour() + 12 * units.length.meter()/units.time.second()
sage: a.convert()
77/6*meter/second
But be careful that the current units system is able to add incompatible units and also forget the unit when some terms cancel, see for example this ask question.
