the number of children has red or brown hair is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in Marci's family there are total 6 children.

Out of 6 children

Number of children have blonde hair = $\frac{1}{3}$

Number of children have red hair = $\frac{1}{6}$

Number of children have brown hair = $\frac{1}{2}$

Since, we have to find the fraction of children has red or brown hair= $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the number of children has red or brown hair is $\frac{2}{3}$
