Answer 1

Complete question :

Chris has 7/8 yards of purple ribbon and 1 1/6 yards of green ribbon. Chris has a total of 3 2/3 yards of ribbon. How many yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green.

Answer:

1.625 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Purple ribbon = 7/8 yards

Green ribbon = 1 1/6 yards = 7/6 yards

Total ribbon = 3 2/3 yards = 11/3 yards

Ribbon that is neither purple nor green :

Total ribbon - (green + purple ribbon)

7/8 - (7/6 + 7/8)

11/3 - (28 + 21) / 24

11/3 - 49/24

= 1.625 yards
