Question

Still can’t get the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Arliss needs $4 \frac{1}{3}$ yards more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can look at the fractions $2 \frac{1}{3}$ and $3 \frac{1}{3}$ and add them up.

Looking at the whole numbers, $2+3=5$.

Looking at the fractional parts, $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$.

So all together, she currently has $5 \frac{2}{3}$ yards.

If she wants to get to 10, we need to find how many more yards we need.

Let's level it out quickly - having $\frac{1}{3}$ more of a yard will give is 6 yards.

$10-6=4$, so in total we added

$4 \frac{1}{3}$ more yards.

So she needs $4 \frac{1}{3}$  more yards.

Hope this helped!
