Answer:

4.75/13

Step-by-step explanation:

13 - 8.25 = 4.75

4.75 pounds are left.

the fraction is 4.75/13

Answer:

4 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial equation of this is 13-8 1/4. 8 1/4 can be written as 33/4, so the equation becomes 13-33/4. You must find a common denominator between the 2 terms, which can be 4. 13 can be rewritten as 52/4. The equation is now 52/4-33/4, which comes out to be 19/4. 19/4 can be rewritten as 4 3/4.
