D=RT


D is distance, r is rate (speed) and t is time.


Convert Knots to mph or km/h.


1 knot = 1.151 mph so 20 knots = 20*1.151=23.82 mph.


Convert minutes to hours, because the speed is given in mph (after the conversion.)


60 minutes/hour so divide 6 min by 60 to find the hours.


6/60=.1


D=23.83*.1=2.383 miles.
