A nautical mile is equivalent to 1 minute (1/60 of a degree) of distance along the equator. It's approximately 40,000 km (24,855 mi.) around the equator. If you divide that by 360 * 60, you get about 1.15 miles per nautical mile.

Similarly, since 1 knot = 1 nautical mile / hour, you have the same ratio for 1 mph.

1 knot = 1.15077945 mph

1 knot = 1.150779 mph so:

5 knots=5.753897mph
10 knots=11.50779

great struggle of words with gray (Answerer above), the solutions of 230 mph are maximum suitable. Knots and mph are mutually interchangable and fluctuate by making use of basically easy unit length. in terms of SI gadgets one million international Statute Mile is one million,609.344 meters one million Nautical Mile is one million,852 meters and one million knot is one million nautical mile in keeping with hour. or one million international Statute Mile = one million.151 nautical mile (approximately) two hundred (miles) x one million.151 (conversion factor) = 230.2 nautical miles What gray meant to assert could have been the DISPLACEMENT of the craft doing two hundred mph as indicated by making use of a fluid tension based velocity length would possibly not be two hundred miles. it is actual whilst the measuring gadget responds to RELATIVE velocity. that's a very diverse undertaking. a widespread GPS receiver would provide velocity readouts and additionally you will wager something that if it shows two hundred knots for one million hour, it HAS travelled 230 miles on the tip of that hour (or 230.2 mph and two hundred nautical miles) *************** ***************** ***************** ************** previous due upload-On: The one million minute of an arc alongside the earth's meridian (or great circle) is the main suitable and prevalent definition of the nautical mile. no one rather makes use of the "geographical mile" at present. The international impressive Hydrographic convention held in Monaco, 1929, observed a definition of one (one million) international nautical mile as being equivalent to one million,852 metres precisely. This fee is rather close (interior of 0.01 %) to the essential length of one minute of selection (1852.235 m)
