Question

Answer 1

9 yard were used in all

Answer 2

`17(1)/(3)` yards.

Explanation:

We have been given that the whole class of 26 students made friendship bracelets. Each bracelet took 2/3 of a yard of yarn to make.

To find total yards of yarn used by the class, we will multiply yards of yarn used to make one bracelet by 26.

`\text{Yards of yarn used by the class}=26* (2)/(3)`

`\text{Yards of yarn used by the class}=(52)/(3)`

`\text{Yards of yarn used by the class}=17(1)/(3)`

Therefore,
`17(1)/(3)` yards of yarn were used in all.
