Verified Answer :

Speed=distance divided by time =d/t
3m/min=37.5m/t
t=(37.5m)/(3m/min) the meters goes away and you left with t in min
t=12.5 min

Answer:

It takes 12.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by tortoise = 87.5 meters,

Speed of the tortoise = 7 meters per minute,

So, time taken by it = \(\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}\)

\(=\frac{87.5}{7}\)

\(=12.5\text{ minutes}\)

Hence, it takes 12.5 minutes.
