Hamsa and Liam bake 108 oatmeal bars. Hamsa makes 20 more bars than Liam. Find the ratio of the number of oatmeal bars Hamsa bakes to the number of oatmeal bars Liam bakes.

Answer (3)

If Hamsa and Iiam bake 108 oatmeal bars and Hamsa made 20 more than Iian, we can divide the 108 by 2 and add 20 to find out how many did she bake:
108 / 2 = 54 54 + 20 = 74
So Hamsa baked 74 bars and Iian baked 108 - 74 (or 54 - 20) = 34 bars. The ratio is 74:34 . We can't simplify it so that's the result.

Hamsa baked 64 oatmeal bars, while Liam baked 44 bars. The ratio of the number of bars baked by Hamsa to the number baked by Liam is 16:11. This ratio shows that for every 16 bars Hamsa baked, Liam baked 11 bars.
