multiply knots by 1.15 and you'll have mph
ex: 100 (kts) X 1.15 = 115 (mph)

What about how to convert Mach into miles per hour (MPH)?

Gosh... That's pretty tough to understand the formula on conversation of mach into MPH. Boy, those chemist or physicist or any scientists making it quite difficult for normal like us to do the simple mathematics to figure it out.

Go buy a cheap E-6b flight computer. It will do it for you in a few seconds.

The speed of sound decreases as altitude increases.
Concorde flys at mach2, however this is at 55,000 feet, much higher than a typical 33,000 ft cruising altitude, where some passenger aircraft may fly at, say, mach 0.8.

look for speed of sound in menu on left, near to the bottom.
