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 149 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 149 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

149 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 149 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 251.48366870786 ft/s

The final result is:

149 kt → 251.48366870786 ft/s

We conclude that 149 knots is equivalent to 251.48366870786 feet per second:

149 knots = 251.48366870786 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 0.0039764013509826 × 149 knots.

Another way is saying that 149 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039764013509826 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-nine knots is approximately two hundred fifty-one point four eight four feet per second:

149 kt ≅ 251.484 ft/s

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