Answer:

48 holes

Explanation:

We know that in 3 minutes, a squirrel managed to bury 12 holes. Now, what if there were 12 minutes?

To solve this, we need to see the increase in minutes and implement the same thing to the holes.

So how do we get 3 minutes to 12 minutes? By multiplying 3 by 4, now do the same for the amount of holes the squirrel burrowed in 3 minutes.

3min * 4 = 12min

12 holes * 4 = 48 holes
