ribbon A is 1/3 meters long.
it is 2/3 meters shorter than ribbon B.
what's the total length of the two ribbons.


the length of ribbon A is 1/3 meters long.
the length of ribbon B is 1/3 meters long + 2/3 meters long = 3/3 meters long = 1 meters long.
the total length of both ribbons is 1 meters long plus 1/3 meters long = 1 and 1/3 meters long.
