Height because dependent variable is the measurement
well, we know the ceiling is 6+2/3 high, and Eduardo has 4+1/2 yards only, how much more does he need, well, is simply their difference, let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract.
![\stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{20}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{9}{2}\implies \stackrel{using ~~\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{\cfrac{(2\cdot 20)-(3\cdot 9)}{6}}\implies \cfrac{40-27}{6}\implies \cfrac{13}{6}\implies\blacktriangleright 2\frac{1}{6} \blacktriangleleft](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B6%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B6%5Ccdot%203%2B2%7D%7B3%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B20%7D%7B3%7D%7D%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B4%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B4%5Ccdot%202%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B9%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B20%7D%7B3%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B9%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Busing%20~~%5Cstackrel%7BLCD%7D%7B6%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B%282%5Ccdot%2020%29-%283%5Ccdot%209%29%7D%7B6%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B40-27%7D%7B6%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B13%7D%7B6%7D%5Cimplies%5Cblacktriangleright%202%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B6%7D%20%5Cblacktriangleleft)
Answer:
12 Scoops
Step-by-step explanation:
Darla has 4 Cylinder Shaped Buckets
Volume of the Cylinders 
The scoop is cone shaped and:
Volume of the Cone Scoop 
Since the radius and height of the cone scoop and cylindrical buckets are the same,
The number of Cone Scoops it will take to fill the buckets is:
Total Volume of Buckets/Volume of Cone Scoops

It will take 12 Scoops to fill the 4 buckets.
The word decreased indicates that a negative internet should be used
