Answer:

7/16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the small orange to have the same denominator by multiplying by a magic 1 or [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex].

1. [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]·[tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex][tex]=\frac{4}{16}[/tex]

2. Subtract Fractions

[tex]\frac{11}{16}[/tex]-[tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{7}{16}[/tex]
