Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 118 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 118 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

118 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 118 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 69.913088552976 kt

The final result is:

118 ft/s → 69.913088552976 kt

We conclude that 118 feet per second is equivalent to 69.913088552976 knots:

118 feet per second = 69.913088552976 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.014303473365252 × 118 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 118 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.014303473365252 knots.

Approximate result

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

118 ft/s ≅ 69.913 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one four times one hundred eighteen feet per second.
