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.
