Jessica used Fraction 2 over 3 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 3 over 4 yards of fabric, and why?

Yes. This is because you take the two fractions and find a common denominator. The common denominator being 12 so then you have 39/12 and 8/12. If each scarf she makes is 8/12 yards of fabric she should have enough to make two scarves.
