Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 20.4 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 20.4 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
20.4 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 20.4 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 12.086669546447 kt
The final result is:
20.4 ft/s → 12.086669546447 kt
We conclude that 20.4 feet per second is equivalent to 12.086669546447 knots:
20.4 feet per second = 12.086669546447 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.082735777308811 × 20.4 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 20.4 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.082735777308811 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty point four feet per second is approximately twelve point zero eight seven knots:
20.4 ft/s ≅ 12.087 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero eight three times twenty point four feet per second.
