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 711 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 711 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

711 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 711 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 216.7128 m/s

The final result is:

711 ft/s → 216.7128 m/s

We conclude that 711 feet per second is equivalent to 216.7128 meters per second:

711 feet per second = 216.7128 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 0.0046144021026908 × 711 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 711 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0046144021026908 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 eleven feet per second is approximately two hundred sixteen point seven one three meters per second:

711 ft/s ≅ 216.713 m/s

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