Answer: the length of the second piece is 1 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary had a link of yarn 4 1/3 inches. Converting 4 1/3 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 13/3 inches.

She cut it into two pieces for her art project. One of the pieces was 2 1/2 inches long. Converting 2 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 5/2 inches.

Therefore, the length of the second piece would be

13/3 - 5/2 = (26 - 15)/6 = 11/6 inches.

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

1 5/6 inches
