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 9.6 miles per hour into knots we have to multiply 9.6 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

9.6 mph → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 9.6 mph × 0.8689762419014 kt

V_(kt) = 8.3421719222534 kt

The final result is:

9.6 mph → 8.3421719222534 kt

We conclude that 9.6 miles per hour is equivalent to 8.3421719222534 knots:

9.6 miles per hour = 8.3421719222534 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.11987285916902 × 9.6 miles per hour.

Another way is saying that 9.6 miles per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.11987285916902 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine point six miles per hour is approximately eight point three four two knots:

9.6 mph ≅ 8.342 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one two times nine point six miles per hour.
