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 1216 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 1216 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

1216 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 1216 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 720.46030237643 kt

The final result is:

1216 ft/s → 720.46030237643 kt

We conclude that 1216 feet per second is equivalent to 720.46030237643 knots:

1216 feet per second = 720.46030237643 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0013880015272202 × 1216 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1216 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0013880015272202 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand two hundred sixteen feet per second is approximately seven hundred twenty point four six knots:

1216 ft/s ≅ 720.46 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero one times one thousand two hundred sixteen feet per second.
