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!

<h2>
$ 588</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
regular working hours = 40
excess is to be paid = 1.5 times the rate
rate = $ 12/hour
Alicia worked:
8 hours Mon to Fri = 8 x 5 = 40 hours x $12 per hour = $ 480
2 hours Sat = 2 hours x ($12 x 1.5) = $ 36
4 hours Sun = 4 hours x ($12 x 1.5) <u> = $ 72 </u>
total = $ 588
