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 749 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 749 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

749 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 749 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1264.1695829677 ft/s

The final result is:

749 kt → 1264.1695829677 ft/s

We conclude that 749 knots is equivalent to 1264.1695829677 feet per second:

749 knots = 1264.1695829677 feet per second
