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 242 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 242 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
242 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 242 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 408.44998541814 ft/s
The final result is:
242 kt → 408.44998541814 ft/s
We conclude that 242 knots is equivalent to 408.44998541814 feet per second:
242 knots = 408.44998541814 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 0.0024482801706463 × 242 knots.
Another way is saying that 242 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0024482801706463 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-two knots is approximately four hundred eight point four five feet per second:
242 kt ≅ 408.45 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times two hundred forty-two knots.
