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 831 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 831 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

831 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 831 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 253.2888 m/s

The final result is:

831 ft/s → 253.2888 m/s

We conclude that 831 feet per second is equivalent to 253.2888 meters per second:

831 feet per second = 253.2888 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 0.0039480624488726 × 831 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 831 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0039480624488726 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight hundred thirty-one feet per second is approximately two hundred fifty-three point two eight nine meters per second:

831 ft/s ≅ 253.289 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times eight hundred thirty-one feet per second.
