In a fifth grade class 4/5 of the girls have brown hair. Of the brown-haired girls, 3/4 of them have long hair. Of the girl with brown hair, 1/3 of them have green eyes. What fraction of the girls in the class have long brown hair?

lets say there are 100 girls.
4/5 of 100 is 80, so 80 girls have brown hair.
3/4 of the 80 who have brown hair have long hair.
3/4 of 80 is 60.
so we know that out of 100, 60 have long brown hair.
in simplest fraction form, 60/100= 3/5
