Answer:

The amount of yarn changes at 0.5 yards per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kendra knits hats, and she starts with 3 3/4 yards of yarn, but after knitting for 5 1/4 hours, there is 1 1/8 yards of yarn left, to determine at what rate does the amount of yarn change the following calculation must be performed:

3/4 = 0.75

1/4 = 0.25

1/8 = 0.125

3.75 - 1.125 = 2.625

2.625 / 5.25 = 0.5

Thus, the amount of yarn changes at 0.5 yards per hour.
