Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for pace

Pace is the time taken per unit distance. So, we use the formula: Pace = Total Time / Total Distance.

Step2: Identify the values

Total distance \( d = 5 \) kilometers, total time \( t = 30 \) minutes.

Step3: Calculate the pace

Substitute the values into the formula: Pace \( = \frac{30}{5} \) minutes per kilometer.
Simplify the fraction: \( \frac{30}{5}=6 \) minutes per kilometer.

Answer:

6 minutes per kilometer (the option: 6 minutes per kilometer)
