Answer:

1/15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Total yards of packing tape = 4 yards

Yards used for his father = 1 3/5 yards

Yards used for another package = 2 1/3 yards

Total yards used = 1 3/5 + 2 1/3

= 8/5 + 7/3

= 24+35/15

= 59/15 yards

How many yards of packing tape does Carlos have left

Total yards left = Total yards of packing tape - Total yards used

= 4 - 59/15

= 60-59/15

= 1/15

Total yards left = 1/15 yards
