Respuesta :

A. 15

Explanation

Step 1

the proportion between eggs hidden and eggs not found is:

[tex]\text{proportion}=\frac{eggs\text{ hidden}}{\text{eggs found}}=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Step 2

if

this year the Roberts family hid 40 eggs,then

Let x represents the number of not found eggs

the proportion is the same

[tex]\begin{gathered} \\ \frac{8}{3}=\frac{40}{x} \\ \text{solve for x} \\ 8x=40\cdot3 \\ x=\frac{40\cdot3}{8} \\ x=\frac{120}{8} \\ x=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the answer is A.15
