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 709 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 709 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

709 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 709 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1196.6571886837 ft/s

The final result is:

709 kt → 1196.6571886837 ft/s

We conclude that 709 knots is equivalent to 1196.6571886837 feet per second:
