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 12.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 12.7 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
12.7 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 12.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 7.5245442764644 kt
The final result is:
12.7 ft/s → 7.5245442764644 kt
We conclude that 12.7 feet per second is equivalent to 7.5245442764644 knots:
12.7 feet per second = 7.5245442764644 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.13289841394486 × 12.7 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 12.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.13289841394486 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twelve point seven feet per second is approximately seven point five two five knots:
12.7 ft/s ≅ 7.525 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point one three three times twelve point seven feet per second.
