Answer:

The correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Simone measures the width of one of cardboard strip as 1/2 yard.

A second cardboard strip measures 5/6 yard in width.

We need to find the combined width.

The combined width of the cardboard strip:


(1)/(2) + (5)/(6)=(8)/(6)=1(1)/(3)


1(1)/(3) is closer to
1(1)/(4) as compare to
1(1)/(2)

Hence, the correct option is C. About 1 on the side with the 1 on top and 4 on the bottom yard.
