Final answer:

To find the number of dolls Ryan can make, divide the total amount of fabric by the amount of fabric required for each doll. Ryan can make 3 and 3/7 dolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of dolls Ryan can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric that Ryan has by the amount of fabric required for each doll.

The total amount of fabric Ryan has is 4 3/3 yards. We can convert this to an improper fraction, which is 13/3 yards.

Each doll requires 1 6/6 yards of fabric. We can simplify this to 7/6 yards.

To find the number of dolls, we divide the total amount of fabric by the amount of fabric required for each doll:

Number of dolls = (13/3) / (7/6)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

Number of dolls = (13/3) * (6/7) = 78/21 = 3 9/21 = 3 3/7

Therefore, Ryan can make 3 and 3/7 dolls.
