Answer:

11/4 or 2.75 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the difference between the original amount of blueberries and the amount she ate

original amount-amount ate

3 1/2 -3/4

To subtract, we need common denominators

The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4

3 1/2=7/2

Multiply by 2/2 to get a common denominator of 4

7/2*2/2=14/4

Now, we have common denominators and can subtract

14/4-3/4

Subtract the numerators, and leave the denominators as 4

11/4 =2.75

She has 11/4 or 2.75 pints left
