At Google or on the Google toolbar if you have added that to your IE, you can type a knots per hour number and receive a number converted to mph. Type in 135 knots to miles and you will get an MPH number.

It's like tipping, just add 15%. (Unless you're a generous tipper)

120 knots (add 10%) + 12 (add half) +6 = 138 mph
