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 2009 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 2009 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

2009 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 2009 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 1745.7732699799 kt

The final result is:

2009 mph → 1745.7732699799 kt

We conclude that 2009 miles per hour is equivalent to 1745.7732699799 knots:
