Answer: 6 ribbon

To answer this question you need to know how much inch to yard ratio is. To convert yard into inch you need to multiply it with 36 inch/yard. Then the ribbon total length would be: 3/2yard x 36 inch/yard = 54 inch.
Then the sum of ribbon that can be cut would be: 54 inch/(9 inch/ribbon)= 6 ribbon
