Answer:
There are 168 ways the squirrels can divide the acorns.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the squirrels can only carry less than their maximum loads, we'll have to subtract 1 from each maximum load.
2 is now 1
3 is now 2
5 is now 4
Now we need to add all of these up. 4 + 2 + 1 = 7
Now we need to multiply the their loads by the number of acorns.
24 × 7 = 168
