Answer:  About 1 yard is a reasonable estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ⁷/₁₄  is  a yard and a half

⁹/₁₄ is just a bit more than half a yard

Rounding that off to half a yard, and finding the difference leaves about 1 yard.

The actual difference is ¹²/₁₄ of a yard the same as ⁶/₇ of a yard, or just about 5¹/₂ inches less than a yard.
