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 148.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 148.8 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

148.8 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 148.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 251.14610673644 ft/s

The final result is:

148.8 kt → 251.14610673644 ft/s

We conclude that 148.8 knots is equivalent to 251.14610673644 feet per second:

148.8 knots = 251.14610673644 feet per second

Alternative conversion
