Respuesta :

Answer:

1 2/3 yards of yellow fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 1/3 = 3 2/3+y

5 1/3 - 3 2/3 = y

16/3 - 11/3 = y

5/3 = y

y = 1 2/3 yards of yellow fabric.

Answer:

y= # yellow fabric yards

5 1/3= 3 2/3+ y

Convert to improper fractions

((5*3)+1)/3= ((3*3)+2)/3 + y

16/3=11/3+y

Subtract both sides by 11/3

5/3=y

or

1 2/3=# yellow fabric yards
