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 988 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 988 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

988 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 988 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 585.37399568085 kt

The final result is:

988 ft/s → 585.37399568085 kt

We conclude that 988 feet per second is equivalent to 585.37399568085 knots:

988 feet per second = 585.37399568085 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.0017083095719633 × 988 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 988 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0017083095719633 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine hundred eighty-eight feet per second is approximately five hundred eighty-five point three seven four knots:

988 ft/s ≅ 585.374 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point zero zero two times nine hundred eighty-eight feet per second.
