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 2008 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 2008 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

2008 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2008 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 1744.904293738 kt

The final result is:

2008 mph → 1744.904293738 kt

We conclude that 2008 miles per hour is equivalent to 1744.904293738 knots:
