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 918 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 918 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

918 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 918 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 279.8064 m/s

The final result is:

918 ft/s → 279.8064 m/s

We conclude that 918 feet per second is equivalent to 279.8064 meters per second:

918 feet per second = 279.8064 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 0.0035738996677703 × 918 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 918 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0035738996677703 meters per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred eighteen feet per second is approximately two hundred seventy-nine point eight zero six meters per second:

918 ft/s ≅ 279.806 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero zero four times nine hundred eighteen feet per second.
