<h3>
Answer: 60 muffins</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
x = some positive whole number
2x = amount Helen baked initially
5x = amount Rebecca baked initially
Notice that the ratio 2x:5x reduces to 2:5 after dividing both parts by x.
So (2x)/(5x) = 2/5
Helen then bakes another 12 muffins, bumping the 2x up to 2x+12. The ratio is now 1:2, which means,
(amount Helen bakes)/(amount Rebecca bakes) = 1/2
(2x+12)/(5x) = 1/2
2(2x+12) = 5x*1 .... cross multiply
4x+24 = 5x
24 = 5x-4x
24 = x
x = 24
From here, we then can say,
- Helen = 2x+12 = 2*24+12 = 48+12 = 60
- Rebecca = 5x = 5*24 = 120
Helen baked 60 muffins and Rebecca baked 120 muffins. We see that 60:120 reduces to 1:2 after dividing both parts by the GCF 60.
Furthermore, note how
- 2x = 2*24 = 48
- 5x = 5*24 = 120
- 48:120 reduces to 2:5 after dividing both parts by 24
This helps confirm we have the correct answer.
The answer is 3.3125 because 5÷16=0.3125 and 0.3125+3=3.3125.

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!
