    Answer: the length of the second piece is 1 5/6 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mary had a link of yarn 4 1/3 inches. Converting 4 1/3 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 13/3 inches.

    She cut it into two pieces for her art project. One of the pieces was 2 1/2 inches long. Converting 2 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 5/2 inches.

    Therefore, the length of the second piece would be

    13/3 - 5/2 = (26 - 15) / 6 = 11/6 inches.

    Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

    1 5/6 inches
