Its average speed is (1,800 m) / (300 sec) = 6 m/s .

There's not enough information in the question to calculate the velocity with. We would need to know the straight-line distance and direction from the place he started from to the place he ended at.

Answer:

6 m/s


solution \\ distance \: travelled = 1.8 \: km \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 1.8 * 1000m \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 1800 \: m \\ time \: taken = 5 \: minute \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 5 * 60 \: seconds \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 300 \: seconds \\ average \: velocity = (distance \: travelled)/(time \: taken) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (1800)/( 300) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 6 \: {ms}^( - 1)

hope this helps..
