A metre is a measure of distance, a denominator may or may not have any measurement unit associated with it. By the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any comparison between the two is flawed.
It must be the unit of the measurement that you are converting FROM.
Multiply the original quantity by a conversion factor, a fraction containing the desired unit in the numerator and the original unit in the denominator so that the fraction is equal to one.
To convert a rate to a unit rate, divide both the numerator and the denominator of the rate by the denominator's value. This simplifies the rate to a comparison per one unit of the denominator. For example, if you have a rate of 60 miles in 3 hours, you would divide both 60 and 3 by 3, resulting in a unit rate of 20 miles per hour.
