~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Calculations in the post by @mananth are incorrect.
        See below my correct solution below.

600 meters is = 0.6 of a kilometer.

5 minutes = 5/60 hrs = 1/12 of an hour

speed = distance / time = = 0.6*12 = 7.2 km/h.

his speed is 7.2 km/ h         ANSWER

Solved correctly.
