To convert knots to miles per hour (MPH), you can use a simple conversion factor. One knot is equal to 1.15078 miles per hour. Therefore, to convert knots to MPH, you multiply the number of knots by 1.15078.
For example, if you have a speed of 10 knots and want to convert it to MPH, you would calculate it as follows:
10 knots × 1.15078 = 11.5078 MPH
This means that 10 knots is equivalent to approximately 11.51 MPH.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Identify the speed in knots that you want to convert.
- Multiply the speed in knots by 1.15078.
- The result is the speed in miles per hour (MPH).
This conversion is useful in various fields such as aviation, maritime, and meteorology where speeds are often measured in knots.
