Answer:

13/28

Explanation:

using pemdas we can determine that the equation is directly solves from left to right

so

first

we have

3/8 + 1/8

which is 4/8

you can simplify this to 1/2

then you have 1/2 - 2/7

you must make them have the same numerator

you can multiple 1/2 by 7/7 and 2/7 by 2/2

7/14 - 4/14 = 3/14

now you must add 3/14 and 1/4

but you to make them have the same numerator

so you multiply 3/14 by 2/2 and 1/4 by 7/7

6/28 + 7/28 = 13/28

that is your final answer
