Emma buys 3 2/3 yards of blue fabric and some yellow fabric at a store. She buys a total of 5 1/3 yards of fabric. The equation 5 1/3=3 2/3+y. can be used to represent this situation, where y is the number of yards of yellow fabric she buys. How much yellow fabric does she buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 2/3 yards of yellow fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 1/3 = 3 2/3+y

5 1/3 - 3 2/3 = y

16/3 - 11/3 = y

5/3 = y

y = 1 2/3 yards of yellow fabric.

Answer:

y= # yellow fabric yards

5 1/3= 3 2/3+ y

Convert to improper fractions

((5*3)+1)/3= ((3*3)+2)/3 + y

16/3=11/3+y

Subtract both sides by 11/3

5/3=y

or

1 2/3=# yellow fabric yards
