dishwasher
Ok so the white is the piece comming out of dishwasher and other copper one is comming from water supply under sink. How do I connect the two together when the white is threaded and two big to fit the copper fitting. I don't want to have to replace the copper line it's a older house and would require having to do do much. I'm doing this on my own and I'm a girl but not stupid but am limited in tools and so need a easy fix thank you mary

It's not the interior holes you need to deal with...it's the external ones. They're getting in the house somewhere/somehow and that's what you need to block.
The simplest way to do that is find the holes, and stuff them with stainless steel wool. The rodents will not want to chew through that.
Plugging the interior holes/gaps won't do much. They'll just eventually chew a new hole elsewhere.
I can only think of three options here...
The first (less optimal) option, is to raise the discharge up and allow it to flow down to the drain connection. In this scenario, you'll want to have the discharge tube go up to an air admittance device (AAV) or air gap. From there it should flow downhill (1/4" per foot), until it reaches the garburator connection.
The other option, is to discharge the dishwasher to its own drain. Install a properly vented standpipe near the dishwasher, and connect the discharge tubing to that (follow local plumbing codes).
The last option is to run a drain line under the floor, and attach to the sink drain below the floor. Install a trap near the dishwasher, and run a proper drain that tees into the sink drain (follow local plumbing codes).

It is in your interest to understand / measure the connectors on the dishwasher and your water supply to select the right hose adapter.
Perhaps one of these lines will allow you to bridge the new dishwasher into the existing water lines;

Best to minimize the number of parts: you may need an adapter to bridge your hose into the female copper piping fitting.

Or get a flexible 3/8" steel braided supply line, that is however long you need, and then you don't have to mess with copper. Just make sure the other end will fit on the valve under the sink (e.g., you might need a 3/8" to 1/2"). The fitting pictured usually comes in the bag with 10' supply lines along with other adapters you might need.
