a costume designer brought 2 1/2 yards of black silk, 3 yeards 6 inches of white silk, and 6 1/3 yeards of blue silk. how many yeards of silk did she buy?

To do this problem you need to know is that 1 yd = 36 inches.
It is not necessary to convert to inches and then reconvert to yards. You can convert the dimensions to decimals and then add.

However, even with this, you need to remember that 1 yd = 36 inches.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
