In a Google search field (google.com if you are not using one anyway) type "60 km/h in m/s" to get: 16,666667 (I did not even have to press Enter!)
Otherwise you could remember there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour making 3600 seconds in an hour. There are 1000 meters in a second.
Combine this knowledge into a conversion factor of 3,6 .
60/3,6 = 16 2/3 = 16,66... meters per second
This illustrates one of the few glitches in the SI (metric) system due to adherence to the base 60 time standard. Had time also been based on base 10 it would have been a simple matter of moving the decimal point and keeping track of how much.

You can't convert a distance to a speed. If you mean kilometers per hour, divide that by 3.6 to get meters per second.
a) Divide the kilometers by the hours, to get the speed in kilometers per hour. b) Divide this result by 3.6, to convert to meters/second.
