Number of eggs hatched: \"%2820%2F100%29%2A60=%281%2F5%29%2A60=highlight_green%2812%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 more baby female crocodiles than males.
\n" ); document.write( "Since twelve eggs hatched, and six more females than males,
\n" ); document.write( "if m is for number of males then \"%28m%2B6%29%2Bm=12\";\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2m%2B6=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2m=6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28m=3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
