Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 1808 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 1808 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

1808 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 1808 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 551.0784 m/s

The final result is:

1808 ft/s → 551.0784 m/s

We conclude that 1808 feet per second is equivalent to 551.0784 meters per second:

1808 feet per second = 551.0784 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0018146238357373 × 1808 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 1808 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0018146238357373 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand eight hundred eight feet per second is approximately five hundred fifty-one point zero seven eight meters per second:

1808 ft/s ≅ 551.078 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times one thousand eight hundred eight feet per second.
