Belina bought 4 1/2 yards of red fabric. She also bought 6 yards of white fabric. How many more inches of white fabric than red fabric did Belina buy?

##1 1/2## yards

Because we are looking for the difference in two numbers (how much more), we can use subtraction.

The amount more white fabric than red fabric is solvable through the expression ##6-4.5##

We can determine that ##6-4.5=1.5##

This means that Belina bought 1.5 yards of white fabric more that red fabric.

You could also write it as ##1 1/2## yards rather than 1.5 yards
