Okay. I think that what you're looking for are the fraction of the total fruits. With that being said, oranges make up 1/2 of them. That means the other half were pears and apples. There were 3 times as many pears as apples. There are still 4 parts to that left. When you think about it, 3/8 is thrice of 1/8 and 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8 or 1/2 in simplest form. Here are the fractions of the fruits Mrs. Lee has.

Oranges: 1/2
Pears: 3/8
Apples: 1/8

The given expression is:
4 - 8 (3/4) + 1/4

To start, we will convert all the numbers to be having a denominator of 4 as follows:
4 is equivalent to 16/4
-8 (3/4) is equivalent to -24/4
1/4 already has 4 as a denominator

Now, the new expression became:
16/4 - 24/4 + 1/4

Since they all have a common denominator, the result can be computed by adding numerators as follows:
16/4 - 24/4 + 1/4
= (16-24+1) / 4
= -7/4

The correct choice is: 
A. -7/4
