Answer:
$(11)/(3)\ yards$

Explanation:

Given

Laquita has
$5 (7)/(9)\ yards$ of fabric i.e.

$\Rightarrow (5*9+7)/(9)=(45+7)/(9)=(52)/(9)\ yards$

She used
$3\ (2)/(3)$ yards to make a blouse i.e.

$\Rightarrow (3* 3+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)\ yards$

Left fabric

$\Rightarrow (52)/(9)-(11)/(3)=(52-33)/(9)\\\\\Rightarrow (19)/(9)\ yards$
