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 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 108 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 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 108 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 182.28346456677 ft/s

The final result is:

108 kt → 182.28346456677 ft/s

We conclude that 108 knots is equivalent to 182.28346456677 feet per second:

108 knots = 182.28346456677 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 0.0054859611231149 × 108 knots.

Another way is saying that 108 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0054859611231149 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 knots is approximately one hundred eighty-two point two eight three feet per second:

108 kt ≅ 182.283 ft/s

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