Answer:
4 1/6 yards
Explanation:
Are you struggling with adding the fractional parts?
Let's leave the 3 full yards out for a minute.
We want to know what 2/6 + 5/6 is, right?
When you ADD fractions you add the numerators, but keep the same denominator. So it's:
(2+5)/6 Remember being taught that?
So that's 7/6, which is an improper fraction.
Convert it to a mixed fraction:
1 1/6
Now add back in the 3 yards:
3 + 1 1/6 = 4 1/6 yards
