Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to meters per second is 0.514444444444, which means that 1 knot is equal to 0.514444444444 meters per second:

1 kt = 0.514444444444 m/s

To convert 749 knots into meters per second we have to multiply 749 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to meters per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 0.514444444444 m/s

749 kt → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 749 kt × 0.514444444444 m/s

V_(m/s) = 385.31888888856 m/s

The final result is:

749 kt → 385.31888888856 m/s

We conclude that 749 knots is equivalent to 385.31888888856 meters per second:

749 knots = 385.31888888856 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 0.0025952529939149 × 749 knots.

Another way is saying that 749 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0025952529939149 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 knots is approximately three hundred eighty-five point three one nine meters per second:

749 kt ≅ 385.319 m/s

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