Answer 2

Answer : The number of yards of ribbon she use is,
`(1)/(42)` yards.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that the Betty had
`(1)/(7)` yards of ribbon. And she used
`(1)/(6)` of it.

Now we have to determine the number of yards of ribbon she use.

Number of yards of ribbon she use = Total yards of ribbon × Used ribbon

Number of yards of ribbon she use =
`(1)/(7)* (1)/(6)`

Number of yards of ribbon she use =
`(1)/(42)`

Thus, the number of yards of ribbon she use is,
`(1)/(42)` yards.
