Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to miles per hour is 1.1507794480225, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.1507794480225 miles per hour:

1 kt = 1.1507794480225 mph

To convert 218 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 218 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to miles per hour. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.1507794480225 mph

218 kt → V_(mph)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in miles per hour:

V_(mph) = 218 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 250.86991966892 mph

The final result is:

218 kt → 250.86991966892 mph

We conclude that 218 knots is equivalent to 250.86991966892 miles per hour:
