Sharing Berries


1. **State the problem:** Four squirrels each have 30 berries, so the total number of berries is the sum of berries they each have. 2. **Calculate total berries:** Total berries = number of squirrels × berries per squirrel $$4 \times 30 = 120$$ berries. 3. **Include the new squirrels:** Two more squirrels join the group, making the total number of squirrels: $$4 + 2 = 6$$ squirrels. 4. **Share berries equally:** Now, the 120 berries are shared equally among 6 squirrels. 5. **Calculate berries per squirrel after sharing:** $$\frac{120}{6} = 20$$ berries per squirrel. **Final answer:** Each squirrel will get to eat **20** berries.
