Given: Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon. Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon. Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon.
To find: Who can buy which ribbon
Solution:
Ribbon Sizes
1 2/3 = 5/3 yard
4/5 yard
3 1/2 = 7/2 Yard
Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon
Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon
=> 3 * 5/3 = 5
3 * 4/5 = 2.4
3 * 7/2 = 10.5
Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon
=> 5 * 5/3 = 8.33
5 * 4/5 = 4
5 * 7 /2 = 17.5
Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon
=> 6 * 5/3 = 10
6 * 4/5 = 4.8
6 * 7 /2 = 21
Only value between 7 & 9 is 5 * 5/3 = 8.33
hence Nailah only can buy 1 2/3 = 5/3 yard ribbon
or there is some mistake in the data

Answer:
$968
Step-by-step explanation:
x= the money John originally had in his savings account
The statement says that John spent $88 on a radio and 1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends. This means that the remaining money is 3/4 of the total amount minus the money spent on the radio:
3/4(x-88)
Then, it says that of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account and the last remaining $420 was left to charity. Since, he spent 4/11 of the remining 3/4(x-88), the remaining is 7/11 of that and that remaining is equal to $420 that was the money left at the end:
7/11(3/4(x-88))= 420
21/44(x-88)=420
21/44x-42=420
21/44x=462
x=968
According to this, the money that John originally had in his savings account was $968.
He spent $88 on a radio: 968-88= 880
1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends: 880/4= 220
880-220=660
Of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account: 660*(4/11)=240
the last remaining $420 was left to charity: 660-240= 420

y ≅ 60 gram
Substitute y = 60 in equation 3.
grams
Therefore, grand coffee cup = 1469 gm and jumbo coffee cup = 60 gm
