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 149 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 149 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

149 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 149 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 88.280086393165 kt

The final result is:

149 ft/s → 88.280086393165 kt

We conclude that 149 feet per second is equivalent to 88.280086393165 knots:

149 feet per second = 88.280086393165 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.011327582933555 × 149 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 149 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011327582933555 knots.

Approximate result

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

149 ft/s ≅ 88.28 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero one one times one hundred forty-nine feet per second.
