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 45.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 45.1 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

45.1 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 45.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 76.120224555198 ft/s

The final result is:

45.1 kt → 76.120224555198 ft/s

We conclude that 45.1 knots is equivalent to 76.120224555198 feet per second:

45.1 knots = 76.120224555198 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 0.013137113110785 × 45.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 45.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.013137113110785 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-five point one knots is approximately seventy-six point one two feet per second:

45.1 kt ≅ 76.12 ft/s

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