Answer:

Elena = 3 1/2 yards

Nailah = 1 2/3 yards

Yu = 4/5 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Pieces of ribbon purchased :

Yu - 3 pieces

Nailah - 5 pieces

Elena - 6 pieces

We could infer that ;

Elena who bought 6 pieces or ribbon bought the highest amount of ribbon followed by Nailah, then Yu

Given that the number of yards each of Yu, Elena and Nailah could have bought :

1 2/3yd ; 4/5yd ; 3 1/2yd

Elena bought the highest number of prices and hence would possibly have the highest number of yards = 3 1/2

Nailah bought next, with 5 pieces, which is greater than Number of pieces bought by Yu but less than Elena ; hence, she could have bought 1 2/3 yards

Then Yu who has the least could have 4/5 yards
