Complete question :
Chris has 7/8 yards of purple ribbon and 1 1/6 yards of green ribbon. Chris has a total of 3 2/3 yards of ribbon. How many yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green.
Answer:
1.625 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Purple ribbon = 7/8 yards
Green ribbon = 1 1/6 yards = 7/6 yards
Total ribbon = 3 2/3 yards = 11/3 yards
Ribbon that is neither purple nor green :
Total ribbon - (green + purple ribbon)
7/8 - (7/6 + 7/8)
11/3 - (28 + 21) / 24
11/3 - 49/24
= 1.625 yards
