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.

Question

No explanation needed

Answer 1

The ratio of unfound to found is 3:5 or a total of 8

Then

3/8 are unfound and 5/8 are found

So,

of the 40 nuts 3/8 x 40 = 15 unfound

5/8 x 40 = 25 found
