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 20.8 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 20.8 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

20.8 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 20.8 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 35.106445027675 ft/s

The final result is:

20.8 kt → 35.106445027675 ft/s

We conclude that 20.8 knots is equivalent to 35.106445027675 feet per second:

20.8 knots = 35.106445027675 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 0.02848479813925 × 20.8 knots.

Another way is saying that 20.8 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.02848479813925 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that twenty point eight knots is approximately thirty-five point one zero six feet per second:

20.8 kt ≅ 35.106 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero two eight times twenty point eight knots.
