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 640 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 640 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

640 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 640 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1080.1983085438 ft/s

The final result is:

640 kt → 1080.1983085438 ft/s

We conclude that 640 knots is equivalent to 1080.1983085438 feet per second:

640 knots = 1080.1983085438 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 0.00092575593952564 × 640 knots.

Another way is saying that 640 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00092575593952564 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred forty knots is approximately one thousand eighty point one nine eight feet per second:

640 kt ≅ 1080.198 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times six hundred forty knots.
