is simply the difference of both amounts, but firstly let's convert the mixed fractions to improper, and subtract.
[tex]\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{7}{16}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 16+7}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{103}{16}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{Jessie}{\cfrac{103}{16}}-\stackrel{Bryce}{\cfrac{9}{2}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{our LCD is 16}}{\cfrac{(1)103-(8)9}{16}}\implies \cfrac{103-72}{16}\implies \cfrac{31}{16}\implies 1\frac{15}{16}[/tex]
