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 68.7 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 68.7 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

68.7 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 68.7 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 40.703637149063 kt

The final result is:

68.7 ft/s → 40.703637149063 kt

We conclude that 68.7 feet per second is equivalent to 40.703637149063 knots:

68.7 feet per second = 40.703637149063 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.024567829069865 × 68.7 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 68.7 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.024567829069865 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that sixty-eight point seven feet per second is approximately forty point seven zero four knots:

68.7 ft/s ≅ 40.704 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero two five times sixty-eight point seven feet per second.
