Answer:
Arliss needs [tex]4 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] yards more.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can look at the fractions [tex]2 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]3 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] and add them up.
Looking at the whole numbers, [tex]2+3=5[/tex].
Looking at the fractional parts, [tex]\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex].
So all together, she currently has [tex]5 \frac{2}{3}[/tex] yards.
If she wants to get to 10, we need to find how many more yards we need.
Let's level it out quickly - having [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] more of a yard will give is 6 yards.
[tex]10-6=4[/tex], so in total we added
[tex]4 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] more yards.
So she needs [tex]4 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] more yards.
Hope this helped!
