Claim; I think that their are a total of 480

lockers in the school. 180 white lockers and

300 blue lockers.
Evidence; I think that their are 480 lockers
total because a RATIO is a comparison of two
numbers. Similar to a RATE which is a
comparison of two numbers of different units.
Anyways, if you look at this problem, it is 3
(white) to 5 (blue) And their are 180 white
lockers. That means for every 3 white lockers
there are 5 blue lockers and so I divided 180
by 3 and found 60 so once I found 60 I just
multiplied 60 by 5 and got 300 then I just
added 180 and 300 in my head which got me
480 lockers total. This is still a regular ratio
howerever this ratio is not PROPORTIONAL
which is when two ratios are equal.
Reasoning; This evidence is valid because it
proves how I got the answer of 480 lockers
total. I used multiplication and division to
solve this ratio.
Conclusion; I enjoyed doing this it was kind of
like a huge brain teaser and I hope to do one

again and I hope you enjoyed this ratio

problem too!
Evaluation; I think I would deserve a 21.5
because I am extremely about my claim and
reasoning and especially my evidence.
