Answer:
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.
