Question

Still can’t get the answer

Answer 1

Arliss needs
`4 (1)/(3)` yards more.

Explanation:

We can look at the fractions
`2 (1)/(3)` and
`3 (1)/(3)` and add them up.

Looking at the whole numbers,
`2+3=5`.

Looking at the fractional parts,
`(1)/(3) + (1)/(3) = (2)/(3)`.

So all together, she currently has
`5 (2)/(3)` yards.

If she wants to get to 10, we need to find how many more yards we need.

Let's level it out quickly - having
`(1)/(3)` more of a yard will give is 6 yards.

`10-6=4`, so in total we added

`4 (1)/(3)` more yards.

So she needs
`4 (1)/(3)` more yards.

Hope this helped!
