#3 3/4#

you will want to find a common denominator and create something easy to work with.

#8 4/16 - 4 4/8#

since 16 and 8 are easy to work with and all of your numbers are even, let's reduce the #4/16# to #2/8#.

#8 2/8 - 4 4/8#

we now have the same common denominator. break up the mixed fraction so that you can subtract easier.

#66/8 - 36/8#

solve and create a mixed fraction to end with.

#30/8#

#3 6/8#

#3 3/4#
