HELP PLS

Jane needs 6 1/2 of fabric to make a dress. She has one piece of fabric that is 1 1/2 yards and another piece of fabric that is 3 1/4 yards. How many more yards of fabric does Jane need to make the dress?

Answer 1

1 1/2+3 1/4
convert 1 1/2 to 1 2/4
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
1+3=4 + 3/4 = 4 3/4
turn 6 1/2 to 6 2/4
6 2/4 - 4 3/4 = 1 3/4
