To find out how much fabric Nate has left, we need to subtract the amount of fabric he used from the total amount he started with.
Total fabric = 4 1/3 yards = 13/3 yards
Fabric used for pillow = 2.5 yards
Fabric left = Total fabric - Fabric used
Fabric left = 13/3 - 2.5
Fabric left = 13/3 - 7.5/3
Fabric left = 5.5/3
Therefore, Nate has 5.5/3 yards of fabric left after making the pillow.
