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 12 knots into kilometers per hour we have to multiply 12 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
12 kt → V(km/h)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in kilometers per hour:
V(km/h) = 12 kt × 1.8519999999969 km/h
V(km/h) = 22.223999999963 km/h
The final result is:
12 kt → 22.223999999963 km/h
We conclude that 12 knots is equivalent to 22.223999999963 kilometers per hour:
12 knots = 22.223999999963 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 0.044996400288052 × 12 knots.
Another way is saying that 12 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.044996400288052 kilometers per hour.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twelve knots is approximately twenty-two point two two four kilometers per hour:
12 kt ≅ 22.224 km/h
An alternative is also that one kilometer per hour is approximately zero point zero four five times twelve knots.
