Well, is just their difference, let's first convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{8}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{9}{8}-\cfrac{3}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is then 8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 9)~~-~~(2\cdot 3)}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{9-6}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}
