3 over 8, because 7 over 8 minus 2 times 1 over 4 equals 7 over 8 minus 2 over 4
3 over 8, because 7 over 8 minus 2 times 1 over 4 equals 7 over 8 minus 3 over 4
1 over 8, because 7 over 8 minus 2 times 1 over 4 equals 7 over 8 minus 2 over 4
1 over 8, because 7 over 8 minus 2 times 1 over 4 equals 7 over 8 minus 3 over 4
