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 720.1 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 720.1 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

720.1 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 720.1 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1215.3918780975 ft/s

The final result is:

720.1 kt → 1215.3918780975 ft/s

We conclude that 720.1 knots is equivalent to 1215.3918780975 feet per second:

720.1 knots = 1215.3918780975 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 0.00082277989348203 × 720.1 knots.

Another way is saying that 720.1 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00082277989348203 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 twenty point one knots is approximately one thousand two hundred fifteen point three nine two feet per second:

720.1 kt ≅ 1215.392 ft/s

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