Answer:

21/8 yds or 2 5/8 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

First turn 1 3/4 yards into an improper fraction so you can add it to 7/8 yards.

1 3/4 as an improper fraction is 7/4 yds

7/4 yds = 14/8 yds

14/8 yds + 7/8 yds = 21/8 yds

So the total amount of ribbon Amanda has is 21/8  yds or 2 5/8 yds
