Answer:

amount left = \(3\frac{7}{8}\) pounds


Explanation:

the original bag is 5 pounds

We know that she used \(1\frac{1}{8}\) of a pound


Therefore, the remaining amount can simply be computed by subtracting what she used from the original weight


Therefore:

amount left = 5 - \(1 \frac{1}{8}\)

amount left = \(3\frac{7}{8}\) pounds


Hope this helps :)
