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 188 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 188 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

188 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 188 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 317.30825313475 ft/s

The final result is:

188 kt → 317.30825313475 ft/s

We conclude that 188 knots is equivalent to 317.30825313475 feet per second:

188 knots = 317.30825313475 feet per second

Alternative conversion
