Conversion formula

The conversion factor from meters per second to feet per second is 3.2808398950131, which means that 1 meter per second is equal to 3.2808398950131 feet per second:

1 m/s = 3.2808398950131 ft/s

To convert 40.8 meters per second into feet per second we have to multiply 40.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from meters per second to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 m/s → 3.2808398950131 ft/s

40.8 m/s → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 40.8 m/s × 3.2808398950131 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 133.85826771654 ft/s

The final result is:

40.8 m/s → 133.85826771654 ft/s

We conclude that 40.8 meters per second is equivalent to 133.85826771654 feet per second:

40.8 meters per second = 133.85826771654 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 0.0074705882352941 × 40.8 meters per second.

Another way is saying that 40.8 meters per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0074705882352941 feet per second.

Approximate result

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

40.8 m/s ≅ 133.858 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times forty point eight meters per second.
