Answer 1

James has 1 6/8 ( also known as 1 3/4) of blue berries left.

Explanation:

Since he has 9 7/8 cups of blue berries, we subtract 5 3/8 and 2 6/8. To make this easier we would add 5 3/8 and 2 6/8 together and get 8 1/8. Then we would subtract 8 1/8 from 9 7/8 Which would leave us with 1 6/8 cups of blue berries. But in simplest form it would be 1 3/4.
