Option Analysis
Total = 540 people.
Twice as many females as males –> (Female) = 360 and (Males) = 180.
3 times as many teachers as administrators –> (Teachers) = 405 and (Administrators) = 135.
1/3 of the administrators were males –> (Male Administrators) = 135*1/3 = 45.
So, (Female Teachers) = 270.
