To find the number of yards of ribbon that were not pink, we need to subtract the amount of pink ribbon from the total amount of ribbon.
Let's start by calculating the amount of pink ribbon. We know that 2/3 of the ribbon was pink. To calculate this, we can multiply the total amount of ribbon (9 yards) by 2/3.
(9 yards) * (2/3) = (18/3) = 6 yards
So, Sandra had 6 yards of pink ribbon.
To find the number of yards of ribbon that were not pink, we subtract the amount of pink ribbon (6 yards) from the total amount of ribbon (9 yards).
9 yards - 6 yards = 3 yards
Therefore, Sandra had 3 yards of ribbon that were not pink.
To find out how many yards of ribbon were not pink, we need to subtract the amount of pink ribbon from the total length of ribbon.
First, let's find out how many yards of ribbon were pink. Given that 2/3 of the ribbon was pink, we can calculate it as follows:
Pink ribbon = (2/3) * 9 yards
= 6 yards
So, Sandra had 6 yards of pink ribbon.
To find out how many yards of ribbon were not pink, we subtract the length of pink ribbon from the total length of ribbon:
Ribbon not pink = Total length of ribbon - Pink ribbon
= 9 yards - 6 yards
= 3 yards
Therefore, Sandra had 3 yards of ribbon that were not pink.
