s = d/t.
d = 600m,
t = 5min,
s = 600/5 * 60,
= 2 m/sec.
2 * 18/5.
= 7.2.
d = 600m,
t = 5min,
s = 600/5 * 60,
= 2 m/sec.

1000 m = 1 km.
60 min = 1 hr,
In, 60 min × 600 m = 36000 m.
36000 m = 36 km.
Now, 36 (km) ÷ 5 (min) = 7.2.
So, 7.2 Km/hr.
60 min = 1 hr,
In, 60 min × 600 m = 36000 m.
36000 m = 36 km.
Now, 36 (km) ÷ 5 (min) = 7.2.
So, 7.2 Km/hr.

@All.
Here is my solution:
600m in 5 minutes.
1hr = 60 minutes,
5 ÷ 60 = 12,
12 x 600 = 7200.
Answer is 7.2 km/hr.
