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 712 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 712 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

712 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 712 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1201.720618255 ft/s

The final result is:

712 kt → 1201.720618255 ft/s

We conclude that 712 knots is equivalent to 1201.720618255 feet per second:

712 knots = 1201.720618255 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 0.00083214017036012 × 712 knots.

Another way is saying that 712 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00083214017036012 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that seven hundred twelve knots is approximately one thousand two hundred one point seven two one feet per second:

712 kt ≅ 1201.721 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero point zero zero one times seven hundred twelve knots.
