In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data:
cheese:
purchased amount = 3 3/8 lb
used amount = 2 3/4
Step 02:
equation:
remaining amount = purchased amount - used amount
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{remaining amount = 3 3/8 - 2 3/4 }=\text{ (3 + }\frac{3}{8})\text{ - (2 + }\frac{3}{4}) \\ \text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\text{remaining amount = }\frac{27}{8}\text{ - }\frac{11}{4}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]The answer is:
5/8 lb = 0.625 lb
