See below.

Explanation:

One fourth can be written mathematically as the fraction #1/4#. One and three eights can be written as #1 3/8#. Whenever you see "difference" in this level of mathematics, it usually means subtraction. So #1 3/8- 1/4# is what we are trying to find. #1/4# can also be rewritten as #2/8# so that #8# is the common denominator. #1 3/8 - 2/8 = color(blue)(1 1/8#

I hope that helps!
