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 749 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 749 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

749 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 749 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 228.2952 m/s

The final result is:

749 ft/s → 228.2952 m/s

We conclude that 749 feet per second is equivalent to 228.2952 meters per second:

749 feet per second = 228.2952 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 0.0043802935847972 × 749 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 749 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0043802935847972 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 forty-nine feet per second is approximately two hundred twenty-eight point two nine five meters per second:

749 ft/s ≅ 228.295 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times seven hundred forty-nine feet per second.
