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 315.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 315.9 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

315.9 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 315.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 533.17913385781 ft/s

The final result is:

315.9 kt → 533.17913385781 ft/s

We conclude that 315.9 knots is equivalent to 533.17913385781 feet per second:

315.9 knots = 533.17913385781 feet per second

Alternative conversion
