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 255 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 255 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

255 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 255 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 151.08336933058 kt

The final result is:

255 ft/s → 151.08336933058 kt

We conclude that 255 feet per second is equivalent to 151.08336933058 knots:

255 feet per second = 151.08336933058 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0066188621847049 × 255 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 255 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0066188621847049 knots.

Approximate result

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

255 ft/s ≅ 151.083 kt

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