Convert yard / second to meter / minute

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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

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

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{y a r d}{s e c o n d}) = 0.9144 (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 0.9144 (\frac{m}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{m e t e r}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (\frac{m}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.9144 \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.9144 \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.9144 \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (\frac{m}{s})

Conversion Equation

0.9144 = x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} = 0.9144

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1.0})

x \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1.0} = 0.9144 \times \frac{60.0}{1.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1.0 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1.0} = 0.9144 \times \frac{60.0}{1.0}

Simplify

x = 0.9144 \times 60.0

Solve

x

x = 54.864

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{y a r d}{s e c o n d}) = 54.864 (\frac{m e t e r}{m i n u t e})
