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 385 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 385 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

385 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 385 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 649.8067949834 ft/s

The final result is:

385 kt → 649.8067949834 ft/s

We conclude that 385 knots is equivalent to 649.8067949834 feet per second:

385 knots = 649.8067949834 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 0.0015389189644063 × 385 knots.

Another way is saying that 385 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0015389189644063 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

385 kt ≅ 649.807 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero two times three hundred eighty-five knots.
