kilometer per hour to meter per minute
Convert kilometer per hour (km/h) to meter per minute (m/min). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 km/h = 16.66666667 m/min
Conversion formula
One kilometer per hour equals 16.66666667 meter per minute. Multiply your value in kilometer per hour by this factor to get meter per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilometer per hour:5 × 16.66666667 = 83.33333333 m/min

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One kilometer per hour is 0.2777777778 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.
