Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 146.5 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 146.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

146.5 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 146.5 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 247.26414406511 ft/s

The final result is:

146.5 kt → 247.26414406511 ft/s

We conclude that 146.5 knots is equivalent to 247.26414406511 feet per second:

146.5 knots = 247.26414406511 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 0.004044258029327 × 146.5 knots.

Another way is saying that 146.5 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.004044258029327 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

146.5 kt ≅ 247.264 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times one hundred forty-six point five knots.
