    Answer:The number of yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green is 1.625 yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Chris has a total of 3 2/3 yards of ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards. Chris has 7/8 yards of purple ribbon. He also has 1 1/6 yards of green ribbon. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 7/6 yards of green ribbon.

    The total length of purple and green ribbon that Chris has would be 7/8 + 7/6 = (21+28) / 24 = 49/24

    The number of yards of Chris's ribbon are neither purple nor green is 11/3 - 49/24 = (88 - 49) / 24

    = 39/24 = 1.625 yards
