Step-by-step explanation:

Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards of plaid ribbon.

She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Converting 2 5/6 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 17/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon.

The total number of yards of ribbon that Kristin has would be
