Answer: [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] of a yard
=========================================================
Explanation:
The longest is [tex]\frac{6}{6}[/tex] yard and the shortest is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of a yard.
This is because 6 is the largest numerator and 1 is the smallest numerator.
Subtract the two fractions:
[tex]\frac{6}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6-1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
We subtract the numerators while the denominator stays the same at 6 the entire time.
This is the difference between the longest and shortest ribbon, and the unit is in yards.
