The best way to solve this one is with a proportion:
(15 steps) / (5 minutes) = (75 steps) / ('x' minutes)
Cross-multiply the proportion: 15 x = 5 x 75
Divide each side by 15 : x = 5 x 5 = <em>25 minutes</em>.
You are correct, and Paul walks very slowly.

Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used. The Pythagorean theorem states that 
where C is the hypotenuse and a and b are legs. In this question, we are given a and C. So, plugin 13 for C and 5 for a and solve for b. Once you rearrange the equation you get, 
. Next, solve what is under the root to get, 
. Finally, square root 144 for the final answer b=12.
