Answer : 1 7/8
Given that: 3 1/4 - 1 3/8
Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction
3 1/4 = (4 x 3) + 1 / 4
3 1/4 = 12 + 1 / 4
3 1/4 = 13/4
1 3/8 = (8 x 1) + 3 / 8
1 3/8 = 8 + 3 / 8
1 3/8 = 11/8
13/4 - 11/8
The common denominator is 8
2 x 13 - 11 x 1 / 8
26 - 11 / 8
15/8
1 7/8
Therefore, the answer is 1 7/8
