40km/min is equivalent to #666 2/3#m/s

40km/min to m/s

First let's convert minutes to seconds. Since there is 60 seconds in one minute, we can write it as 40km/60s.

Now because we want it per second, we need to divide the 40 kilometre by 60 and the 60 seconds by 60 as well.

#40/60km = 2/3km#

So then, #2/3#km/s is what we have now. Since there is 1000 metres in 1 km, we can write it as #2/3times1000#m/s

#2/3times1000 = 666 2/3#m

Therefore, 40km/min is equivalent to #666 2/3#m/s

See the explanation please.

#40( km)/min * (1 min)/(60 s) * (1000 m)/(1 km) = 4000/6 = 666.bar6 ms^(-1)~~666.7ms^-1#
