You can put this solution on YOUR website!
6km per hour
How many meters are in a kilometer? 1000
So 6000 km per hour (6*1000)
How many minutes are in an hour? 60
6000 km per hour divided by 60 minutes
6000 / 60 = 100 meters per minute
.
To get even further...
How many seconds in a minute? 60
How many centimeters in a meter? 100
