Answer:

  • 1 2/3 yards

--------------------

After using 2 9/12 yards she has:

  • 4 5/12 - 2 9/12 yards of fabric left

To subtract the mixed numbers, first subtract the whole numbers:

  • 4 - 2 = 2

Then, subtract the fractions:

  • 5/12 - 9/12 = - 4/12 = - 1/3

Finally, combine the whole number and fraction:

  • 2 - 1/3 = 1 2/3 yards of fabric left
