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 3045 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 3045 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

3045 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 3045 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 5139.3810148687 ft/s

The final result is:

3045 kt → 5139.3810148687 ft/s

We conclude that 3045 knots is equivalent to 5139.3810148687 feet per second:

3045 knots = 5139.3810148687 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 0.00019457596101688 × 3045 knots.

Another way is saying that 3045 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00019457596101688 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

3045 kt ≅ 5139.381 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times three thousand forty-five knots.
