Final answer:

Vyone used 2 1/4 yards for the first 2 dresses. She would use 5 yards for the next 5 dresses.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of yards of fabric Vyone used for the next 5 dresses, we need to calculate the total yards of fabric she used for the first 2 dresses. Since she used 1/4 yard of fabric for the first dress and 2 yards for the second dress, the total yards used for the first 2 dresses is 1/4 + 2 = 2 1/4 yards.

If we divide this total by 2 (since each batch of 5 dresses requires the same amount of fabric as the first 2 dresses), we get 2 1/4 / 2 = 1 1/8 yards per dress.

Therefore, for the next 5 dresses, she would use 1 1/8 x 5 = 5 5/8 yards. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is approximately 6 yards, so the correct answer is b. 5 yards.
