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 318 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 318 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

318 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 318 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 188.40984881226 kt

The final result is:

318 ft/s → 188.40984881226 kt

We conclude that 318 feet per second is equivalent to 188.40984881226 knots:

318 feet per second = 188.40984881226 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0053075781669803 × 318 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 318 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0053075781669803 knots.

Approximate result

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

318 ft/s ≅ 188.41 kt

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