Ms. Fitzgerald had 2 and 1/4 gallons of fruit punch. She served 3/8 gallons of the fruit punch to her family at lunch.
The amount of the punch she has
[tex]\rightarrow 2 + \dfrac{1}{4} \\\\\rightarrow \dfrac{8 + 1}{4}\\\\\rightarrow \dfrac{9}{4}[/tex]
Then the 3/8 gallons of fruit punch to her family at lunch. Then we have
[tex]\rightarrow \dfrac{9}{4} - \dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\\\rightarrow \dfrac{18-3}{8}\\\\\\\rightarrow \dfrac{15}{8}[/tex]
