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 212 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 212 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

212 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 212 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 64.6176 m/s

The final result is:

212 ft/s → 64.6176 m/s

We conclude that 212 feet per second is equivalent to 64.6176 meters per second:

212 feet per second = 64.6176 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 0.015475659882137 × 212 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 212 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.015475659882137 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred twelve feet per second is approximately sixty-four point six one eight meters per second:

212 ft/s ≅ 64.618 m/s

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