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. "How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" 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!

Max wakes up at 7:00am. It take him 10 minutes to get dressed, and 5 minutes to eat breakfast. The bus will pick up max at 7:40a

Note: I will be using the information in your attachment to answer the question.
Add the minutes to the initial time: 7:00 + 10 minutes + 7 minutes + 5 minutes = 7:22
He will be ready to board the bus at 7:22.
Subtract this time from the time the bus is schedule to pick him up: 7:40 - 7:22 = 18
Max will have 18 minutes before the bus picks him up.

Postulates can be used to prove theorems. True False

No, because postulates are assumptions. Some true, some not. So it can't be used to prove it
