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 761 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 761 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

761 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 761 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 1284.4233012529 ft/s

The final result is:

761 kt → 1284.4233012529 ft/s

We conclude that 761 knots is equivalent to 1284.4233012529 feet per second:

761 knots = 1284.4233012529 feet per second
