Answer:

3/8 of the box cereal

Step-by-step explanation: First you must convert 3/4, 1/8, and 1/4 so they have to same denominator. Four can go into eight two times, so you must multiply the numerator by two. So your new fractions are 6/8, 1/8, and 2/8. Now you must subtract 1/8 and 2/8 from 6/8. When you subtract 1/8 from 6/8 you get 5/8. Now subtract 2/8 from 5/8 and you get 3/8. That is how you get the answer, I hope this helps you.
