\n" ); document.write( "let the number of all fruits be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we have: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"pears+%2B+apples%2B+bananas%2B+kiwis%2B+oranges=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given that:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\" of the fruits are pears=>\"%281%2F3%29x=pears\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are half as many apples as pears=>\"%28%281%2F3%29%2F2%29x=%281%2F6%29x=apples\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F6\" of the fruits are bananas=>\"%281%2F6%29x=bananas\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are half as many kiwis as bananas=> \"%28%281%2F6%29%2F2%29x=%281%2F12%29x=kiwis\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are \"3\" times as many oranges as kiwis.=>\"3%281%2F12%29x=%281%2F4%29x=oranges\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now we have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F3%2Bx%2F6%2Bx%2F6%2Bx%2F12%2Bx%2F4=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%284x%2B2x%2B2x%2Bx%2B3x%29%2F12=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12x%2F12=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=x\"=> true\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, since common denominator is \"12\", the LEAST number of fruits that can be in the bowl is \"12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%2912=4\" pears
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%2912=2\" apples
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%2912=2\" bananas
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F12%2912=1\" kiwi
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F4%2912=3\" oranges\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now create a bird's eye view drawing\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
