Commentary for Menachot 154:18

כדרב חסדא אמר אבימי דאמר רב חסדא אמר אבימי שלא ינתח בשר קודם שיטול אימורין

thus one must bring unleavened [cakes] in the same measure as the leavened [cakes] - It is thus established that there were twenty tenths for the cakes of the thank-offering, ten for the leavened [cakes] and ten for the unleavened. I might think that the ten [tenths] for the unleavened [cakes] were all of one kind [of cake]; the text therefore stated, If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil of fine flour soaked.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 12.');">²⁷</span> Thus there were three and a third tenths for each kind, three cakes to every tenth; and thus there were forty cakes for the thank-offering.
