Time from a Distance in Miles and Speed in Metres per Minute

Calculate the time it takes to ride, walk, swim, or run a certain distance in miles based on a speed in metres per minute.

Formula

time = distance ÷ speed

Conversions

one kilometre (km) = 0.621371192237334 miles (mi)
one mile (mi) = 1609.344 metres (m)
one hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)
one metre per minute (m/mi) =  3.28083989501312 feet per minute (ft/min)

Example Calculation

How long will it take to walk  15 miles at a speed of  22 metres per minute?

First, convert the 15 miles to a distance in metres;

15 * 1609.344 = 24140.16

15 miles equals 24140.16  metres

Divide the distance of  24140.16 feet by the speed of 22 metres per minute to get the time in minutes;

24140.16 ÷ 22 = 1097.28

It will take 1097.28 minutes to run the 15 miles at a speed of 22 metres per minute.

Convert to decimal hours by dividing by 60 (there are 60 minutes in one hour);

1097.28 ÷ 60 = 18.288

The time in hours equals 18.288 hr. = 18 hr - 17 min - 17 sec
