There are 3+2 = 5 people with brown eyes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 7 girls.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So there are 5+7 = 12 people who are either a girl or have brown eyes...BUT...we have to subtract out 3 because there are 3 girls who have brown eyes (they get counted twice)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So there are really 5+7-3 = 12-3 = 9 people who are either a girl or have brown eyes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 6+7 = 13 people total.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the final answer is 9/13
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
