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 250 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 250 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

250 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 250 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 148.1209503241 kt

The final result is:

250 ft/s → 148.1209503241 kt

We conclude that 250 feet per second is equivalent to 148.1209503241 knots:

250 feet per second = 148.1209503241 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0067512394283989 × 250 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 250 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0067512394283989 knots.

Approximate result

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

250 ft/s ≅ 148.121 kt

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