Asquirrel family collected 72nuts to the store for the winter. they spread teh nuts out evenly between their 6 favorite locations, sadly, a crow stole half the nuts from one of the location. how many nuts did the crow steal?

If the total number of nuts is 72, then spread evenly between 6 locations, you must divide 72 by 6 to find out how many nuts are in each location.

72/6=12

If the crow stole half of the total amount of nuts in one location, you should divide 12 by 2 to get your answer.

12/2=6

The crow stole 6 nuts.
