Extra Credit Problem Solving

On your Edublog, solve the following problem:

The service club bought a 10-yard roll of edging to put around two trees in front of the school. They use 5 and 2/3 yards of edging for one tree and 3 and 3/4 yards for the other tree. How much edging is left?

Remember, to get extra credit for this problem, you must clearly EXPLAIN how you arrived at your solution.
