A picture graph shows the horizontal axis labelled Number of acorns and the vertical axis with kind of squirrel. A picture graph shows the horizontal axis labelled Number of acorns and the vertical axis with kind of squirrel. Each kind of squirrel is listed along the vertical axis from the bottom of the axis to the top of the axis as follows: grey squirrels, fox squirrels, flying squirrels, and ground squirrels. The number of acorns for each squirrel is represented by the number of acorn pictures plotted on the graph. Grey squirrel is represented by 2 and 1 half acorn pictures, fox squirrel is represented by 6 acorn pictures, flying squirrel is represented by 2 acorn pictures, and the ground squirrel is represented by 5 and 1 half acorn pictures.
How many acorns were left after the squirrels ate?
