Unlocking the Mystery: Knots vs. Miles Per Hour!

Ever found yourself gazing at the open sea, wondering how sailors measure their speed? Let me take you on a journey from the heart of the Pacific to the highways of America! 🌊🚗 A knot isn’t just a twist in a rope—it's a nautical mile per hour, a language of the ocean. To bring this into landlubber terms, just multiply knots by 1.151 to get miles per hour. For example, if the wind howls at 20 knots, that's about 23 mph! Simple, right? But wait, there’s more! Want to convert back? Multiply mph by 0.869, and voilà—you’re speaking sailor! Try this: which is faster, a red boat at 15 knots or a blue boat at 17 mph? (Hint: do the math and comment your answer!) If you spot a slip in my calculations, call me out below! Let’s crack these conversion codes together. What other tricky units stump you?
