Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles per hour to knots is 0.8689762419014, which means that 1 mile per hour is equal to 0.8689762419014 knots:

1 mph = 0.8689762419014 kt

To convert 16 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 16 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from miles per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mph → 0.8689762419014 kt

16 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 16 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 13.903619870422 kt

The final result is:

16 mph → 13.903619870422 kt

We conclude that 16 miles per hour is equivalent to 13.903619870422 knots:

16 miles per hour = 13.903619870422 knots
