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!

Start by multiplying 24*5 (PEMDAS)
24*5= 125
125-41=84
The mean is the average.
To solve for the average we add all the numbers up and divide by how many numbers there are.
21, 23, 25, 25, 26, 28, 28, 28, 31, 33.
268 total, now divide by how many numbers there are.
268/10
Your mean is 26.8
Answer: 13/7 or as a decimal 1.857142857
How did i get the answer:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
so 1/2 of 10 is 5, 1/2 of 16 is 8
-3/5 of 15 is -9 and -3/5 of -35 is POSITIVE 21
all together should look like 5x+8+−13=−9x+21
(now we have to combine like terms)
8+ -13= -5
5x -5 = -9x+21
Step 2: Add 9x to both sides
5x + 9x= 14x
14x -5 = 21
Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.
21+5= 26
14x=26
Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.
26/14= 1.85714286 or 13/7
