Answer:

Option A,
$3(3)/(8)\ in$

Explanation:

Step 1: Remove the excess from the total

Total - Excess

$19(1)/(8)\ in - 2(1)/(4)\ in$

$18(9)/(8)\ in - 2(2)/(8)\ in$

$16(7)/(8)\ in$

Step 2: Split the remaining into 5 pieces

$(16(7)/(8)\ in)/(5\ pieces)$

$((135)/(8)\ in)/(5\ pieces)$

$(135\5)/(8\ in)$

$(27)/(8\ in)$

$3(3)/(8)\ in$

Answer: Option A,
$3(3)/(8)\ in$
