Answer: She can use the 3/4 long ribbon.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to express the length inn decimal form, and compare:

2/6 = 2 ÷ 6 = 0.3333333 m

3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 =0.75m

4/9= 4 ÷ 9= 0.44444m

The ribbon must be longer than 2/3 meters

2/3= 2 ÷ 3 =0.66666

So, she can use the 3/4 long ribbon.

Because 0.75> 0.6666

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
