Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found. a squirrel hid 40 nuts all together. how many of the nuts do not get found?

15 nuts do not get found.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.

Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40

Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8

Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.

15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.

This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3

Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this

15 nuts are not found.
