Answer:
3 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
the big piece is 9 3/4 inches square and the smaller piece is 3 1/4
it is told that the smaller is cut out from the smaller .
For this problem you subtract 9 3/4 bye 3 1/4
since they already have the common denominator then you should just subtract them
9 3/4- 3 1/4= 3 2/4
