Bunuel , will you please explain how to do this or provide the OE?

I'm terrible at word problems with algebra and only variables.

Asked: At the rate of m meters per s seconds, how many meters does a cyclist travel in x minutes?

Speed = m/s meters/second
Time = 60x seconds
Distance = 60mx/s meters

How is there s in the denominator? Doesn't it cancel out?

meters / second x (60 seconds / minute) = 60 m / minute

60 m / minute x (x minutes) = 60mx

m and s are variables and unit is metre per second
So essentially it is m metre travelled in s seconds
