Trisha needs 4.5 yards of fabric to do a project. If she already has 2/3 of a yard of fabric, what is the minimum amount of fabric she must buy to be able to complete her project?

1 yard = 3 feet
2/3 of a yard would be 2 feet

4.5 yards = 13.5 feet
13.5-2 = 11.5 feet

11.5 feet = 3.83 yards

therefore at least 11.5 feet or 3.83 yards must be purchased
