Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 79.9 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 79.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

79.9 ft/s → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 79.9 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V(kt) = 47.339455723583 kt

The final result is:

79.9 ft/s → 47.339455723583 kt

We conclude that 79.9 feet per second is equivalent to 47.339455723583 knots:
