Answer 1

Answer:
`(11)/(3)\ yards`

Explanation:

Given

Laquita has
`5 (7)/(9)\ yards` of fabric i.e.

`\Rightarrow (5*9+7)/(9)=(45+7)/(9)=(52)/(9)\ yards`

She used
`3\ (2)/(3)` yards to make a blouse i.e.

`\Rightarrow (3* 3+2)/(3)=(11)/(3)\ yards`

Left fabric

`\Rightarrow (52)/(9)-(11)/(3)=(52-33)/(9)\\\\\Rightarrow (19)/(9)\ yards`
