We can use the formula:

average velocity = displacement / time

Here, the displacement is the distance travelled, which is 9 km, and the time taken is 5 minutes, or 5/60 = 1/12 hours (since there are 60 minutes in an hour). Therefore:

average velocity = 9 km / (1/12 hours)

= 108 km/h

So the average velocity of the businessman is 108 km/h.
