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 25.3 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 25.3 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

25.3 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 25.3 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 14.989840172799 kt

The final result is:

25.3 ft/s → 14.989840172799 kt

We conclude that 25.3 feet per second is equivalent to 14.989840172799 knots:

25.3 feet per second = 14.989840172799 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.066711852059278 × 25.3 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 25.3 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.066711852059278 knots.

Approximate result

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

25.3 ft/s ≅ 14.99 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero six seven times twenty-five point three feet per second.
