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 291 feet per second into meters per second we have to multiply 291 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

291 ft/s → V_(m/s)

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

V_(m/s) = 291 ft/s × 0.3048 m/s

V_(m/s) = 88.6968 m/s

The final result is:

291 ft/s → 88.6968 m/s

We conclude that 291 feet per second is equivalent to 88.6968 meters per second:

291 feet per second = 88.6968 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 0.011274363900389 × 291 feet per second.

Another way is saying that 291 feet per second is equal to 1 ÷ 0.011274363900389 meters per second.

Approximate result

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

291 ft/s ≅ 88.697 m/s

An alternative is also that one meter per second is approximately zero point zero one one times two hundred ninety-one feet per second.
