Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. First, we need to convert the distance from meters to kilometers because the speed is asked in kilometers per hour. We know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. So, 600 meters is equal to 600/1000 = 0.6 kilometers.

  2. Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours because the speed is asked in kilometers per hour. We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, 5 minutes is equal to 5/60 = 0.08333 hours.

  3. Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance by the time. So, the speed is 0.6 kilometers / 0.08333 hours = 7.2 kilometers per hour.

So, the correct answer is 7.2 kilometers per hour.
