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 150 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 150 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

150 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 150 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 253.17147856496 ft/s

The final result is:

150 kt → 253.17147856496 ft/s

We conclude that 150 knots is equivalent to 253.17147856496 feet per second:

150 knots = 253.17147856496 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 0.0039498920086427 × 150 knots.

Another way is saying that 150 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039498920086427 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 fifty knots is approximately two hundred fifty-three point one seven one feet per second:

150 kt ≅ 253.171 ft/s

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