If someone is traveling at 7.4 knots, what is that in mph?

Question

If you know could u tell me how to do the conversion, so next time i could figure it out on my own? The other things is, if u were traveling this fast on a boat how far would you have gone in 24 hours? Thank you!

Answer 1

One knot (nautical mile) is equal to roughly 1.15 miles.  Therefore, 7.4 knots would be equal to 8.51 miles.

Answer 2

It would be 8.51 mph. you multiply knots by 1.15. See this conversion table for more....http://www.energy.iastate.edu/renewable/...

to figure out how far you've gone you just multiply 8.51 by 24 which would be 204.24 miles.
