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 12.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 12.3 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
12.3 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 12.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 7.2875507559458 kt
The final result is:
12.3 ft/s → 7.2875507559458 kt
We conclude that 12.3 feet per second is equivalent to 7.2875507559458 knots:
12.3 feet per second = 7.2875507559458 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.13722031358534 × 12.3 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 12.3 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.13722031358534 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twelve point three feet per second is approximately seven point two eight eight knots:
12.3 ft/s ≅ 7.288 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one three seven times twelve point three feet per second.
