For every 20 scones that Adam bakes,
he bakes 10 cookies.
He bakes a total of 120 scones and cookies.
- How many cookies does he bake?
- How many more scones than cookies does he bake?
(a)
Number of scones and cookies per set
= 20 + 10
= 30
Number of sets
= 120 ÷ 30
= 4
Number of cookies that Adam bakes
= 4 x 10
= 40
(b) Number of scones that Adam bakes
= 4 x 20
= 80
Number of more scones than cookies
= 80 - 40
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 40
