meter per hour to centimeter per minute
Convert meter per hour (m/h) to centimeter per minute (cm/min). Use an editable speed converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 m/h = 1.666666667 cm/min
Conversion formula
One meter per hour equals 1.666666667 centimeter per minute. Multiply your value in meter per hour by this factor to get centimeter per minute. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 meter per hour:5 × 1.666666667 = 8.333333333 cm/min

About these measurements
Speed is distance traveled per unit of time.
The base reference used here is the meter per second. One meter per hour is 0.0002777777778 base units; one centimeter per minute is 0.0001666666667 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.
