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 655 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 655 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

655 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 655 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 388.07688984915 kt

The final result is:

655 ft/s → 388.07688984915 kt

We conclude that 655 feet per second is equivalent to 388.07688984915 knots:

655 feet per second = 388.07688984915 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.002576808942137 × 655 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 655 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.002576808942137 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred fifty-five feet per second is approximately three hundred eighty-eight point zero seven seven knots:

655 ft/s ≅ 388.077 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero three times six hundred fifty-five feet per second.
