Marcella bought 12 1/4 yards of ribbon. She uses 2 1/2 yards of ribbon for gift packages and 3 2/3 yards to tie balloons.

How many yards of ribbon does Marcella have left?

6 1/12, you can add 2 1/2 to 3 2/3 to get 6 1/2 then subtract the total yards of ribbon, 12 1/4 by 6 1/6 to get 6 1/12. I believe I’m right.
