There are 180 white lockers in a school. There are 3 white lockers for every 5 blue lockers. How many lockers are in the school?

Answer 1

3/5 = 120/B

3/(3+5) = 120/T

3T =8(120)

T = 8(40) = 320 total lockers

3/5 = 120/B

1/5 = 40/B

B=200 blue lockers

T=W+B = 120+200 = 320 total lockers

3/5 = 120/200 = 12/20 = 3/5
