Answer:

a. Doors = 31 doors

b. Windows =155 windows

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Ratio D:W = 1:5 = 1 + 5 = 6

Total number of doors and windows = 186

Ratio of doors to windows = 1/6

Ratio of windows to doors = 5/6

To find the ratio of the doors;

Doors = 1/6 * 186

Doors = 186/6

Doors =31 doors

To find the ratio of windows;

Windows = 5/6 * 186

Windows = 930/6

Windows =155 windows
