Answer 1

the answer is 6/8 pounds.

She has 6/8 pounds of cheese left.

Answer 2

Answer:6/8 pounds

Explanation:

2 1/4 - 1 1/2

- 2 times 4 plus 1 = 9/4

- 1 times 2 plus 1 = 3/2

9/4 - 3/2

-to subtract your fraction, you need to have the same denominator in each side

- 4 times 2 = 8 (this is your denominator)

- 4 times 3 = 12 (your right numerator)

- 2 times 9 = 18 (your left numerator)

18/8 - 12/8 = 6/8
