Convert knot to mile / minute

Learn how to convert 1 knot to mile / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (k n o t) = x (\frac{m i l e}{m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (k n o t) = \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{m i l e}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1609.344}{60.0} (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1609.344}{60.0} (\frac{m}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (k n o t) = x (\frac{m i l e}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{1609.344}{60.0} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{1609.344}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \times \frac{1609.344}{60.0} \times (\frac{m}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times \frac{1609.344}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1609.344}{60.0} = \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1609.344})

x \times \frac{1609.344}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1609.344} = \frac{1852.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{60.0}{1609.344}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1609.344 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1609.344} = \frac{1852.0 \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 1609.344}

Simplify

x = \frac{1852.0 \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 1609.344}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 1852.0 \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 1609.344}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0191796575 \approx 1.918 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (k n o t) \approx 1.918 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m i l e}{m i n u t e})
