Question

Nancy put 80 acorns in her backyard. Then, she made a graph of how many acorns different types of squirrels

ate.


how many acorns were left after the squirrels ate?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

If we take the partial image to be 1/2 of a full image, then there are a total of

5 1/2 + 2 + 6 + 2 1/2 = 16

acorn images on the graph. Each image represents 4 acorns, so a total of ...

4 × 16 = 64

acorns are represented on the graph. Since these are ones the squirrels ate, the remaining 80 -64 = 16 acorns were left uneaten.
