Hellppp
last saturday, sammy was in the central park watching a chipmunk and a squirrel. he observed the chipmunk digging a number of holes. the squirrel dug four fewer then the chipmunk. the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug. the squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the hole it dug. they each hid the same number of acorns. how many acorns did the chipmunk hide? plzz ill mark u as

Let's solve!

Step-by-step explanation:

FACTS:

- squirrel dug 4 fewer holes than the chipmunk

- chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug

- squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug

- each hid the same number of acorns

Solve [using the guess-and-check method]:

3 acorns * 16 holes = 48 acorns (chipmunk)

4 acorns * 12 holes = 48 acorns (squirrel)

The chipmunk (and the squirrel!!) hid 48 acorns.

Key:

w = 3 acorns

x  = 4 acorns

y  = 1 hole

z  = total acorns

Chipmunk:

(w * 16y)

Squirrel:

(x * 12y)

Total equation:

(w * 16y) + (x * 12y) = z

Example:

(w * 16y) + (x * 12y) = z

(3 * 16)   + (4 * 12)   = z

||       ||

  48       +    48       = z

   ||

         96                 = z  

96 acorns is the answer when you use the equation to solve. Note: this equation combines the total acorns of both animals.

I hope this helps!
