Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to feet per second is 3.2808398950131, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 3.2808398950131 feet per second:

1 m/s = 3.2808398950131 ft/s

To convert 11.8 meters per second into feet per second we have to multiply 11.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 3.2808398950131 ft/s

11.8 m/s → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 11.8 m/s × 3.2808398950131 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 38.713910761155 ft/s

The final result is:

11.8 m/s → 38.713910761155 ft/s

We conclude that 11.8 meters per second is equivalent to 38.713910761155 feet per second:

11.8 meters per second = 38.713910761155 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 0.025830508474576 × 11.8 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 11.8 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.025830508474576 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eleven point eight meters per second is approximately thirty-eight point seven one four feet per second:

11.8 m/s ≅ 38.714 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two six times eleven point eight meters per second.
