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 305 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 305 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

305 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 305 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 180.7075593954 kt

The final result is:

305 ft/s → 180.7075593954 kt

We conclude that 305 feet per second is equivalent to 180.7075593954 knots:

305 feet per second = 180.7075593954 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0055338028101631 × 305 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 305 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0055338028101631 knots.

Approximate result

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

305 ft/s ≅ 180.708 kt

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