Naomi's fish is 40 millimeters long. Her guinea pig is 25 centimeters long. How much longer is her guinea pig than her fish?

Explanation 1:

Her guinea pig is

25 cm  long.

25 cm = 250 mm

Her fish is  40 mm long, so her guinea pig is longer than her fish by

25 cm − 40 mm = 250 mm − 40 mm = 210 mm= 21 cm

Explanation 2:

First, lets convert the length of Naomi's guinea pig from cm to mm.

1 cm=10 mm

We can multiply each side of the equation by 25 to obtain the length of the guinea pig in mm.

25 × 1 cm = 25 ×  10 mm

25 cm = 250 mm

Because we have a length of the guinea pig and the fish in a common metric we can subtract the two values: 250 mm − 40 mm = 210 mm The guinea pig is 210 millimeters longer than the fish. Or, if we want to convert this to centimeters we can divide by 10: 210 millimeters 10 = 21 centimeters

Hope this helps have a good day/night!
