How do you convert cm per sec to m per min? - Answers

To answer a question like this, I usually draw a line (representing a fraction bar). everything on top gets multiplied to form a numerator; everything on bottom is multiplied to get a denominator, then cancel units, then divide numerator/denominator to get the converted units.So 1 m = 100 cm, and 1 min = 60 sec.Note the vertical bars are for separation but I multiply:1 cm | 1 m | 60 sec----------------------------- = (60/100) m / min = 0.6 meters per minute1 sec | 100 cm | 1 minThe reason this works is because 1 m = 100 cm, divide both sides by 100 cm and you get (1 m) / (100 cm) = 1/1 = 1, so you're just multiplying by 1, which doesn't change your measurement, just how it is expressed.
