Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to knots is 1.9438444924423, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 1.9438444924423 knots:

1 m/s = 1.9438444924423 kt

To convert 12.5 meters per second into knots we have to multiply 12.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 1.9438444924423 kt

12.5 m/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 12.5 m/s × 1.9438444924423 kt

V_(kt) = 24.298056155529 kt

The final result is:

12.5 m/s → 24.298056155529 kt

We conclude that 12.5 meters per second is equivalent to 24.298056155529 knots:

12.5 meters per second = 24.298056155529 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.04115555555552 × 12.5 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 12.5 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.04115555555552 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twelve point five meters per second is approximately twenty-four point two nine eight knots:

12.5 m/s ≅ 24.298 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero four one times twelve point five meters per second.
