centimeter per minute to foot per minute
Convert centimeter per minute (cm/min) to foot per minute (ft/min). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cm/min = 0.03280839895 ft/min
Conversion formula
One centimeter per minute equals 0.03280839895 foot per minute. Multiply your value in centimeter per minute by this factor to get foot per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centimeter per minute:5 × 0.03280839895 = 0.1640419948 ft/min

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One centimeter per minute is 0.0001666666667 base units; one foot per minute is 0.00508 base units.
Important distinctions
Mach is excluded because the speed of sound depends on medium and temperature.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
