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 160 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 160 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

160 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 160 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 139.03619870422 kt

The final result is:

160 mph → 139.03619870422 kt

We conclude that 160 miles per hour is equivalent to 139.03619870422 knots:
