Answer:
[tex]4\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Susie bought [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of cherries at a store.
This is equal to [tex]\frac{19}{4}[/tex] pounds.
She ate [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pounds out of it.
Therefore, the number of pounds of cherries that Susie is left with =
[tex]\frac{19}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{38-5}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{33}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]4\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds
Susie is left with [tex]4\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds of cherries.
