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 240 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 240 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

240 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 240 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 405.07436570394 ft/s

The final result is:

240 kt → 405.07436570394 ft/s

We conclude that 240 knots is equivalent to 405.07436570394 feet per second:

240 knots = 405.07436570394 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 0.0024686825054017 × 240 knots.

Another way is saying that 240 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0024686825054017 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

240 kt ≅ 405.074 ft/s

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