Simply,
(2/1000) = 0.002km/sec
Then (0.002*3600) = 7.2km/sec.
Note: small quantity to big quantity then divide i.e; 2/1000 = meter into kms.
(2/1000) = 0.002km/sec
Then (0.002*3600) = 7.2km/sec.

We can directly divide 60/5 and multiply with 600 and divide it with 1000.
60/5*600/100 = 7.2.
60/5*600/100 = 7.2.

Simple(no formulas).
600m/5 min = 120m per 1min.
1hr = 60min.
120x60 = 7200m .
7200m = 7.20km/hr.
600m/5 min = 120m per 1min.
1hr = 60min.
120x60 = 7200m .
7200m = 7.20km/hr.
