Answer:

5/8 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Used: 3/8 yard

Amount Remaining : 1/4

Amount started with  = Amount Used + Amount Remaining

We need to find the common denominator for 8 and 4.

3/8 stays 3/8, and 1/4 becomes 2/8    (multiply the numerator and                      

                                                                denominator of 1/4 by 2)

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
