Conversion formula
The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:
1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt
To convert 638 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 638 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt
638 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 638 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 378.00466522711 kt
The final result is:
638 ft/s → 378.00466522711 kt
We conclude that 638 feet per second is equivalent to 378.00466522711 knots:
638 feet per second = 378.00466522711 knots
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0026454699954541 × 638 feet per second.
Another way is saying that 638 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0026454699954541 knots.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred thirty-eight feet per second is approximately three hundred seventy-eight point zero zero five knots:
638 ft/s ≅ 378.005 kt
An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred thirty-eight feet per second.
