It can't. 9 x 1/4 = 2 and 1/4. The equation in the question is a false statement.

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
$\frac{1}{2}$ x 4 = $\frac{4}{8}$

Now you can add the fractions:
$\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+ $\frac{5}{8}$ = 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ yards

Now subract 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ from 5:
5-2 $\frac{5}{8}$ =2 $\frac{3}{8}$ yards
