First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.
\(\frac{2}{3}\) × \(\frac{2}{2}\)
=\(\frac{4}{6}\)
Now we just need to add the fractions together
\(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6}\)
= \(\frac{9}{6}\)
9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.
\(\frac{9}{6}\) ÷ \(\frac{3}{3}\)
=\(\frac{3}{2}\)
=1.5 yards
Your final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.
