It depends upon the circumference of the rotating object such as a wheel.

Deriving the formula,

let the radius of the wheel be r then,

the circumference of a circle is = (2 X (pi) X r)

the total distance covered by the wheel in one min = (2 X (pi) X r) X rpm

now,

if the object's diameter is measured in meters then the formula would be,

(2 X (pi) X r X rpm X 60) / 1000

else if in different unit then just convert it to meters
