Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to meters per second is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.3048 meters per second:

1 ft/s = 0.3048 m/s

To convert 698 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 698 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.3048 m/s

698 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 698 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 212.7504 m/s

The final result is:

698 ft/s → 212.7504 m/s

We conclude that 698 feet per second is equivalent to 212.7504 meters per second:

698 feet per second = 212.7504 meters per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter per second is equal to 0.0047003436891305 × 698 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 698 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0047003436891305 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that six hundred ninety-eight feet per second is approximately two hundred twelve point seven five meters per second:

698 ft/s ≅ 212.75 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times six hundred ninety-eight feet per second.
