⚠️(Long Math Question!)⚠️ PLEASE HELP! THIS IS A TEST! "Jack compared the number of pink rose buses to the number of yellow rose bushes as part of a school project. Jack counted 3 pink rose bushes to every 8 yellow rose bushes. Later in the year, there was a drought and many rose bushes died. New rose bushes were planted to make sure there were the same number of rose bushes before the drought. The new ratio of the number of pink rose bushes to the number of yellow rose bushes is 5:6. After planting new yellow rose bushes there were 180 yellow rose bushes. How many pink and yellow rose bushes were there before the drought? Explain your answer using a tape diagram."

67.5 pink 180 yellow

The ratio at the beginning of the year was 3:8 then it became 5:6 it says that they planted the rose bushes so there would be the same number as before so that means the ratio was 3:8 with 180 yellow rose bushes, to start solving you have to find out how many yellow rose bushes were represented by a 1 in the ratio, to get that divide 180 by 8 to get 22.5, now you know that a 1 in the ratio is equal to 22.5 bushes, multiply 22.5 by 8 to get the total number of yellow bushes and multiply it by 3 to get the total number of pink bushes so then you get (obviously) 180 total yellow rose bushes and 67.5 total pink rose bushes before the drought, you can check that by simplifying the ratio of 67.5:180 which simplifies into 3:8 which means the numbers check out! This took a super long time so please award brainliest or more points if you can.
