How to disambiguate "1/min" from "rpm" vs "1/60s"? — at Version 1

Description (last modified by Adrian Pop)

Currently we have:

convertUnits("1/min", "rad/s") -> (true,60.0,0.0) // wrong, just coverts min to seconds
convertUnits("rpm", "rad/s") -> (true,9.549296585513719,0.0) // correct

The question is how do we know when is revolutions / minute vs 1 / minute as they have exactly the same representation "1/min"?
