PLEASE HELP 15 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt is making cookies. He adds fraction 3 over 4 of a cup of sugar to a bowl. He then removes two fraction 1 over 8 cups of sugar. Which of the following best explains the amount of sugar left in the bowl? fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 over 8 fraction 3 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 3 over 8 fraction 4 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 times 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 3 over 8 fraction 4 over 8, because fraction 3 over 4 minus 2 times fraction 1 over 8 equals fraction 3 over 4 minus fraction 2 over 8

3/4 - 2*(1/8) = 6/8 -2/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

Matt will have 1/2 cup of sugar left in the bowl.
