Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 108.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 108.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

108.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 108.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 183.80249343816 ft/s

The final result is:

108.9 kt → 183.80249343816 ft/s

We conclude that 108.9 knots is equivalent to 183.80249343816 feet per second:

108.9 knots = 183.80249343816 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.0054406226014363 × 108.9 knots.

Another way is saying that 108.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0054406226014363 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one hundred eight point nine knots is approximately one hundred eighty-three point eight zero two feet per second:

108.9 kt ≅ 183.802 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times one hundred eight point nine knots.
