Answer: The answer is...

9 1/6

Explanation:

Subtract the fractions by first finding a common denominator. Then, write equivalent fractions, subtract the whole numbers and the numerators. Write the answer in simplest form.

15 2/3- 6 1/2

15 4/6 - 6 3/6= 9 1/6

Mercedes has 9 1 /6 inches of ribbon left.
