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 709 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 709 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

709 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 709 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 216.1032 m/s

The final result is:

709 ft/s → 216.1032 m/s

We conclude that 709 feet per second is equivalent to 216.1032 meters per second:

709 feet per second = 216.1032 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 0.0046274187517816 × 709 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 709 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0046274187517816 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred nine feet per second is approximately two hundred sixteen point one zero three meters per second:

709 ft/s ≅ 216.103 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero five times seven hundred nine feet per second.
