Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to kilometers per hour is 1.8519999999969, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.8519999999969 kilometers per hour:

1 kt = 1.8519999999969 km/h

To convert 1.5 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 1.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to kilometers per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.8519999999969 km/h

1.5 kt → V(km/h)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:

V(km/h) = 1.5 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h

V(km/h) = 2.7779999999954 km/h

The final result is:

1.5 kt → 2.7779999999954 km/h

We conclude that 1.5 knots is equivalent to 2.7779999999954 kilometers per hour:

1.5 knots = 2.7779999999954 kilometers per hour

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.35997120230441 × 1.5 knots.

Another way is saying that 1.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.35997120230441 kilometers per hour.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point five knots is approximately two point seven seven eight kilometers per hour:

1.5 kt ≅ 2.778 km/h

An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point three six times one point five knots.
