Here is the solution of the given problem above.
Firstly, to make the solution easier, let us convert the mixed fractions.
2 3/4 is 11/4 (Pounds of beef needed)
1 1/6 is 7/6 (Pounds of beef available)
So, to get how much more he needs, we will deduct 7/6 from 11/4 and we get 19/12. And this fraction is equivalent to option A. 1 7/12. Therefore, he needs 1 7/12 pounds more. hope this answer helps.
Thing is, you didn't give us the choices!
1 white shirt
1 black shirt
1 blue shirt
1 blue pant
1 tan pant
There are 5 total articles of clothing and 2 that he could end up wearing (white shirt & tan pants)
so the probability equals 2/5
