centimeter per minute to meter per minute
Convert centimeter per minute (cm/min) to meter per minute (m/min). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cm/min = 0.01 m/min
Conversion formula
One centimeter per minute equals 0.01 meter per minute. Multiply your value in centimeter per minute by this factor to get meter per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centimeter per minute:5 × 0.01 = 0.05 m/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 meter per minute is 0.01666666667 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.
Common questions
How do I convert cm/min to m/min?
Multiply the quantity in cm/min by 0.01. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the meter per minute to centimeter per minute converter.
