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 725 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 725 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

725 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 725 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1223.6621463973 ft/s

The final result is:

725 kt → 1223.6621463973 ft/s

We conclude that 725 knots is equivalent to 1223.6621463973 feet per second:

725 knots = 1223.6621463973 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 0.00081721903627091 × 725 knots.

Another way is saying that 725 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.00081721903627091 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-five knots is approximately one thousand two hundred twenty-three point six six two feet per second:

725 kt ≅ 1223.662 ft/s

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