3. 3

   Forward conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{knot}& =\frac{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}{0.44704\cancel{m/s}}\times 1\mathrm{mph}\\ & =\frac{0.514444}{0.44704}\mathrm{mph}\\ & =1.15077845383\mathrm{mph}\end{array}$$
4. 4

   Reverse conversion

   $$\begin{array}{rl}1\mathrm{mph}& =\frac{0.44704\cancel{m/s}}{0.514444\cancel{m/s}}\times 1\mathrm{knot}\\ & =\frac{0.44704}{0.514444}\mathrm{knot}\\ & =0.868976992637\mathrm{knot}\end{array}$$
