SmokeyBrown · Answer

Each mile is equal to about 1.6 kilometers
26.219 miles is equal to (26.219*1.6) kilometers or about 41.95 kilometers.
41.95 kilometers in 128 minutes would be 1/128 that amount in a single minute
41.95/128 = 
about 0.328 kilometers per minute.

You could take steps similar to those above to solve the problem
