I've tried but am incorrect.

The mariner's formula can be written in the form m/1.15=k, where m is the speed of the ship in MPH and k is the speed of the ship in knots.

(a) Solve the formula for m.
(b) use the result to find the number of miles per hour a ship is traveling if its speed is 34 knots.

After calculating both steps i end up with the answer of 39.1 but it has been marked wrong twice now. PLEASE help
