Answer 2

Valentino needs 1
`(3)/(4)` more pounds of chicken for the recipe.

Explanation:

You just need to know how to subtract fractions.

Valentino needs 4 and 1/2 pounds of chicken for a recipe, and he already has 2 and 3/4. We want to know how many more pounds of chicken we need, so you subtract.

4 1/2 - 2 3/4 = 4 2/4 - 2 3/4

= 1 3/4

Valentino needs 1 and 3/4 pounds of chicken still.
