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 8.9 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 8.9 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
8.9 km/h → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8.9 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt
V(kt) = 4.8056155507639 kt
The final result is:
8.9 km/h → 4.8056155507639 kt
We conclude that 8.9 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 4.8056155507639 knots:
8.9 kilometers per hour = 4.8056155507639 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.2080898876401 × 8.9 kilometers per hour.
Another way is saying that 8.9 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.2080898876401 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight point nine kilometers per hour is approximately four point eight zero six knots:
8.9 km/h ≅ 4.806 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point two zero eight times eight point nine kilometers per hour.
