Yes, but you need to know the outer circumference of the drive wheel with the track wrapped around it - depending on your track/sprocket design this could have a significant (>10%) difference on your calculations.
To continue your example, if your drive sprocket circumference is 10cm, but with track wrapped you have 12cm, then you have 1.2M / minute @ 10RPM.

Hypothetically speaking if my drive wheel's circumstance is 10cm and I need my tank to drive one meter a minute ( hypothetically) would my final rpm need to be 10? Or do I just need to experiment?
