Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.

how to round a decimal: take the underlined number and look to the number located to the RIGHT of the underlined number, if the number to the right of the underlined number is 4 or less you leave the underlined number as is - but if the number right to underlined number is 5 or greater you round the underlined number up by one
ex. 1.83 [round to the nearest tenth]
answer: 1.80
instead of keeping the 3 [hundredth] you turn it into a 0.
