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 33.1 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 33.1 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

33.1 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 33.1 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 28.763113606936 kt

The final result is:

33.1 mph → 28.763113606936 kt

We conclude that 33.1 miles per hour is equivalent to 28.763113606936 knots:

33.1 miles per hour = 28.763113606936 knots
