let the fraction of the students in class that play soccer be $\"a%2Fb\"$ and the fraction of the students in class that play basketball be $\"c%2Fd\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, $\"1=a%2Fb%2Bc%2Fd\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if at the class party $\"a%2Fb=1%2F3\"$ of the students play soccer, $\"1-1%2F3=c%2Fd\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"c%2Fd=1-1%2F3=3%2F3-1%2F3=2%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, $\"2%2F3\"$ of the class plays basketball \n" ); document.write( "
