Convert square meter / minute to square foot / second

Learn how to convert 1 square meter / minute to square foot / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{s q u a r e f o o t}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (\frac{m^{2}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{s q u a r e f o o t}{s e c o n d}) = 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m^{2}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{s q u a r e f o o t}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{2}}{s}) = x \cdot 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m^{2}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m^{2}}{s}) = x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m^{2}}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.0}{60.0} = x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}

Switch sides

x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} = \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}})

x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Cancel

x \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2} \times \frac{1.0}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}} = \frac{1.0 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.0}{60.0 \times 9.290304 \times 10^{- 2}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 2}} can be rewritten to 10^{2}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{2}}{60.0 \times 9.290304}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.179398507 \approx 1.794 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{s q u a r e m e t e r}{m i n u t e}) \approx 1.794 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{s q u a r e f o o t}{s e c o n d})
