Hi there!

The correct answer is 6.25 times.

This is how you get there:

1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm

2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25

If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.

I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!

Tonia and trinny are twins. Their friends give them identical cakes for their birthday. Tonia eats 1/8 of her cake and trinny ea

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{12}$ of the cake

Step-by-step explanation:

add $\frac{1}{8}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ to see the total amount of cake eaten.

a. find the common denominator: 8 x 3 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24

b. multiply accordingly to get the correct numerator: $\frac{3}{24}$ + $\frac{4}{24}$

c. add: $\frac{3}{24}$ + $\frac{4}{24}$ = $\frac{7}{24}$

subtract found value from total to find left over cake.

a. 24 - 7 = 14

simplify.

a. $\frac{14}{24}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$

You are left with $\frac{7}{12}$ of the cake.

Joseph owns a hot dog stand and sells specialized hot dogs. He charges $1.50 for a plain hot dog and then an additional $0.50 fo

Lilit [14]

Hot Dog Stand

Let

C--------> total cost of the hot dog

x-------> is the number of toppings

we know that

$C=0.5x+1.5$

where

The slope of the linear equation is equal to $0.5\frac{\$}{topping}$

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the linear function is equal to $\$1.5$

That means -------> This is the cost of the hot dog without topping

Hamburgers Stand

Let

C--------> total cost of the hamburger

x-------> is the number of toppings

we know that

$C=0.25x+2.50$

where

The slope of the linear equation is equal to $0.25\frac{\$}{topping}$

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the linear function is equal to $\$2.5$

That means -------> This is the cost of the hamburger without topping

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The linear equation of the hamburger cost is equal to

$C=0.25x+2.50$
