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 39.8 knots into miles per hour we have to multiply 39.8 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

39.8 kt → V_(mph)

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

V_(mph) = 39.8 kt × 1.1507794480225 mph

V_(mph) = 45.801022031297 mph

The final result is:

39.8 kt → 45.801022031297 mph

We conclude that 39.8 knots is equivalent to 45.801022031297 miles per hour:
