hi zee-f

Draw three circles for brown hair, floppy ears and long hair.

The space has 8 regions: "none of these features"; "brown without floppy ears and without long hair"; "brown with floppy ears but without long hair" and so on.  I'll leave as an exercise working out the other regions.

Put a number in a single region only if you know it.  If a given piece of information covers more than one of the eight don't write it in any region as that will confuse the arithmetic.  But you could, for instance, colour the border of all the affected regions and write a key at the side for the total in those regions.

eg.   'Two baby bunnies have floppy ears and long hair but are not brown.' refers to a single region so you can write inside '2'.

But 'Two baby bunnies are brown and have floppy ears' is not the information for a single region as it consists of 'brown with floppy ears and long hair'  + 'brown with floppy ears but not long hair'

There is enough information to work out all 8 regions.  If you cannot do it with arithmetic alone try calling the number in one region 'x' and make an equation to solve for x.

Hope that helps.   

If not, post back and I'll start you off with the diagram.

LATER EDIT:  Just tried it.  No algebra required; just fill in the three regions where you know all three properties (brown/white; floppy/not floppy; long/short).  Then use the multi-region info to calculate the rest.

Hey,

I am still kinda confused this is how I started (in the image below)


Don't i subtract two from brown and floppy ears when I want to add the next info?

Thanks all so so much for giving me part of your time

This is what I did or at least try to do with  bob bundy's gram is that correct?

But like when I know I have 6 brown and 6 long hair   and they give the info that says Four baby bunnies are brown with long hair do I subtract 4 from both the 6 brown and 6 long hair?
