Q:

One not is 1 nautical mile per hour, and 1 nautical mile is 6080 feet.  If a cruiser ship has an average speed of 3.5 knots, what is the average speed, in miles per hour, of the ship?

 

I must be missing something, b/c I am setting up the problem like this: 3.5* 1knot/mph, and getting 3.5  mph, but the answer is 4.03, and I dont know how to set up the problem to get there.

Thanks
