Given:
10 yards required
5 2/3 yards on hand.
We need to subtract the yards on hand from the total yards required.
First, we need to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5 2/3 = ((5*3)+2)/3 = (15+2)/3 = 17/3
Second, we need to multiply 10 by a fraction that will give us the denominator of 3.
10 * 3/3 = (10*3)/3 = 30/3
Third, we do subtraction using our derived fractions.
30/3 - 17/3 = (30-17)/3 = 13/3
Lastly, we simplify the improper fraction. Improper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is greater than its denominator. Its simplified form is a mixed fraction.
13/3 = 4 1/3
Arliss needs to buy 4 1/3 yards more to complete the required yard length.

You could also say something such as 10 + (-3) or |-10+3|.
D. The answer has to be 2,000, eliminating A and C. B doesn't even use the original equation, as well as incorrectly solving the method, so D is the correct answer, even if you don't understand the principles.
