Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 438 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 438 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

438 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 438 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 133.5024 m/s

The final result is:

438 ft/s → 133.5024 m/s

We conclude that 438 feet per second is equivalent to 133.5024 meters per second:

438 feet per second = 133.5024 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.007490502043409 × 438 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 438 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.007490502043409 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

438 ft/s ≅ 133.502 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero seven times four hundred thirty-eight feet per second.
