Is there a way to have a more common output format on MixedUnit?

Quantity[317.2,MixedUnit[{"Minutes"/"Kilometers", "Seconds"/"Kilometers"}]]

gives

enter image description here

I would love to have some unit like $$\frac{317\,\text{min } 12\, \text{s}}{km}$$

Quantity[317.2, MixedUnit[{"Minutes", "Seconds"}]/"Kilometers"]

gives an error

  • $\begingroup$ With v13.2 on my Mac your first example evaluates to {Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{317, 0}], MixedUnit[{("Minutes")/("Kilometers"), ("Seconds")/("Kilometers")}]], Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{12., 0}], MixedUnit[{("Minutes")/("Kilometers"), ("Seconds")/("Kilometers")}]]} to get your result I need Quantity[MixedMagnitude[{IntegerPart[#], 60*FractionalPart[#]} &[317.2]], MixedUnit[{"Minutes"/"Kilometers", "Seconds"/"Kilometers"}]] $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @BobHanlon I used v13.0 on Windows, but seems strange if the output differs so much between some minor releases. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ UnitConvert[Quantity[317.2, "Seconds"/"Kilometers"], MixedUnit[{"Minutes", "Seconds"}/"Kilometers"]] --> 5 min/km 17.2 s/km $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Try 2: UnitConvert[Quantity[317.2, "Minutes"/"Kilometers"]*Quantity["Kilometers"], MixedUnit[{"Minutes", "Seconds"}]]/"km" ==> $\frac{317\, \text{min}\ 12.\text{s}}{\text{km}}$ $\endgroup$
