Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 248 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 248 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

248 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 248 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 146.93598272151 kt

The final result is:

248 ft/s → 146.93598272151 kt

We conclude that 248 feet per second is equivalent to 146.93598272151 knots:

248 feet per second = 146.93598272151 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0068056849076602 × 248 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 248 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0068056849076602 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that two hundred forty-eight feet per second is approximately one hundred forty-six point nine three six knots:

248 ft/s ≅ 146.936 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero seven times two hundred forty-eight feet per second.
