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

Answer:

The owner must sell the 1/4 yards long strip to make more money

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area of the rectangle Length(L) × Breadth(B)=3-1/3 yards2

width=5/4 yards

To find the length(L)=Area/width

L=3-1/3 ÷ 5/4=8/3 yards

Length=8/3 yards

After cutting into strips of 1/3 yards long and 5/4 yards wide.

The number of pieces acquired is Total length/strip length=8/3 ÷ 1/3=8 strips of 1/3 yards length  

The width is not considered as the value does not change

Therefore the total amount if each strip is sold for $ 3 is 8×3=$24

However if the fabric is cut into strips of ¼ yards long 5/4 yards wide

Then number of pieces acquired is 8/3 ÷ ¼ =32/3 strips of ¼ yards length

Therefore the total amount if each strip is sold for $ 2.30 or  $ 23/10 is 32/3 × 23/10  =$24.5333

Therefore to earn more he should sell the strips of ¼ yards length
