Question

To change knots per hour, use the expression 1.15k, where k is the speed in in knots per hour. A plane is flying at 300 knots per hour. How fast is that plane flying in miles per hour. Explain step by step.

Answer 1

1.15(300).
Substitute k for 300, since the plane is flying 300 knots per hour, and k=knots per hour.

1.15(300)=345 miles per hour
After multiplying, 300 by 1.15, you get 345 miles per hour. This is the speed of the plane from Knots to MPH (Miles Per Hour).

Answer 2

Since the plane is flying 300 knots per hour.
