Understanding the Units
To convert from kilometers per minute (km/m) to meters per second (m/sec), it's essential to understand the relationship between these units.

Conversion Factors
- 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m)
- 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (sec)

Steps to Convert
1. **Convert Kilometers to Meters**
- Since 1 km = 1,000 m, we start with the conversion:
- 1.2 km = 1.2 × 1,000 m = 1,200 m
2. **Convert Minutes to Seconds**
- We need to convert the time from minutes to seconds:
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
3. **Combine the Results**
- Now, we can calculate the speed in meters per second:
- Speed in m/sec = Total meters / Total seconds
- Speed in m/sec = 1,200 m / 1 min = 1,200 m / 60 sec
4. **Calculate the Final Result**
- Speed in m/sec = 1,200 m ÷ 60 sec = 20 m/sec

Final Conversion Result
- Therefore, 1.2 km/m is equivalent to **20 m/sec**.
In conclusion, by following these steps and using conversion factors, you can easily convert units from kilometers per minute to meters per second.
