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 47.2 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 47.2 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
47.2 kt → V(ft/s)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:
V(ft/s) = 47.2 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s
V(ft/s) = 79.664625255108 ft/s
The final result is:
47.2 kt → 79.664625255108 ft/s
We conclude that 47.2 knots is equivalent to 79.664625255108 feet per second:
47.2 knots = 79.664625255108 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 0.012552622908822 × 47.2 knots.
Another way is saying that 47.2 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.012552622908822 feet per second.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that forty-seven point two knots is approximately seventy-nine point six six five feet per second:
47.2 kt ≅ 79.665 ft/s
An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero one three times forty-seven point two knots.
