You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If there are 66 students it is easily calculated into a percentage. If 50% of the students had brown eyes converted to a fraction it is 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can multiply the amount of students by the fraction and it will give you the number of students with the eye color.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)x66=33 students
\n" ); document.write( "you can also find the amount with blue or other colored eyes.
\n" ); document.write( "blue eyes fraction is 33/100 or 1/3 so (1/3)x66=22 students and 11 students with other colored eyes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here are the list of numbers\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Other=11 students
\n" ); document.write( "Blue=22 students
\n" ); document.write( "brown=33 students \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
