The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

\(12.5\) minutes

Relation between speed, distance, and time is as follows:

Distance \(=\) Speed \(\times\) Time

Distance \(=62.5\) meters

Speed \(=5\) meters per minute

Therefore,

62.5 \(=\) 5 \(\times\) Time

Time \(=\frac{62.5}{5}\)

        \(=12.5\) minutes

A tortoise walks for \(\boldsymbol{12.5}\) minutes.
