The ratio of the number of chickens in Farm V to the number of chickens in Farm W was 3 : 7. There were 44 fewer chickens in Farm V than in Farm W. When 11 chickens escaped from Farm W, the farmer in Farm W bought another 15 chickens. What was the new ratio of the number of chickens in Farm V to the number of chickens in Farm W in the end? Give your answer in the simplest form.

	Farm V	Farm W
Before	3 u	7 u
Change 1		- 11
Change 2		+ 15
After	3 u	7 u + 4

Number of fewer chickens in Farm V than Farm W
= 7 u - 3 u
= 4 u

4 u = 44

1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11

Number of chickens in Farm V
= 3 u
= 11 x 3
= 33

Number of chickens in Farm W
= 7 u
= 11 x 7
= 77

New number of chickens in Farm W
= 7 u + 4
= 77 + 4
= 81

Farm V : Farm W
33 : 81 _{(÷ 3)}
11 : 27

Answer(s): 11 : 27
