let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind that the LCD of 4 and 2 is 4.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 4+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{35}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{35}{4}-\cfrac{15}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 4}}{\cfrac{(1)35~~-~~(2)15}{4}}\implies \cfrac{35-30}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}

Neil is unable to buy parts of packages because that not how most stores do business. Least common multiple(LCM) is the number that is both closest in value to the original number while being equal for all numbers. in that case, Neil is buying whole packages so it would work.

C. Neil would buy 4 packages of hamburger patties and 5 packages of hamburger buns. He could make 20 burgers.
