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 45.9 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 45.9 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
45.9 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 45.9 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 77.470472440878 ft/s
The final result is:
45.9 kt → 77.470472440878 ft/s
We conclude that 45.9 knots is equivalent to 77.470472440878 feet per second:
45.9 knots = 77.470472440878 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 0.012908143819094 × 45.9 knots.
Another way is saying that 45.9 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012908143819094 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 nine knots is approximately seventy-seven point four seven feet per second:
45.9 kt ≅ 77.47 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one three times forty-five point nine knots.
