In order to answer the question, we just have to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which from the length of the silver ribbon. We do it as follows:

5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet

Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

To answer the question above, we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,
5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet
Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
