Question

Alyssa needs 7 5/8 inches of ribbon for one project in 4 7/8 inches of ribbon for another project if she has 11 in of ribbon will she have enough to complete both projects explain

Answer 1

no, she will not have enough ribbon because 7 plus 4 gives you a sum of 11 and 5/8 plus 7/8 gives you a sum of 1 and 1/2. 11 plus 1 and 1/2 equals 12 and 1/2. so she will need 1 and 1/2 more inches of ribbon.
