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 1988 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 1988 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

1988 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 1988 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 3355.3659959143 ft/s

The final result is:

1988 kt → 3355.3659959143 ft/s

We conclude that 1988 knots is equivalent to 3355.3659959143 feet per second:
