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 24.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 24.2 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

24.2 kt → V(ft/s)

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

V(ft/s) = 24.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V(ft/s) = 40.844998541814 ft/s

The final result is:

24.2 kt → 40.844998541814 ft/s

We conclude that 24.2 knots is equivalent to 40.844998541814 feet per second:

24.2 knots = 40.844998541814 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 0.024482801706463 × 24.2 knots.

Another way is saying that 24.2 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.024482801706463 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

24.2 kt ≅ 40.845 ft/s

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