Answer 1

She has 6 1/3. The larger dress need 3 2/3. So 6 1/3 - 3 2/3 = 2 2/3
So Mrs. Rodriguez will need 2 2/3 for the smaller dress

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that Mrs.Rodriguez is going to use 6 1/3 yards of material to make two dresses. The larger dress requires 3 2/3 yards of material.

Convert these into improper fractions.

Total material available =
`(19)/(3)` yards

Material used for larger dress =
`(11)/(3)` yards

Hence material Mrs. Rodriguez have left to use on the smaller dress

=
`(19)/(3)-(11)/(3)\\= 2 2/3 yards`

answer is 2 2/3 yards
