Conversion formula
The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:
1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt
To convert 5.5 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt
5.5 km/h → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 5.5 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt
V(kt) = 2.9697624190114 kt
The final result is:
5.5 km/h → 2.9697624190114 kt
We conclude that 5.5 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 2.9697624190114 knots:
5.5 kilometers per hour = 2.9697624190114 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.33672727272671 × 5.5 kilometers per hour.
Another way is saying that 5.5 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.33672727272671 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five point five kilometers per hour is approximately two point nine seven knots:
5.5 km/h ≅ 2.97 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point three three seven times five point five kilometers per hour.
