Difference means to minus
5 1/4 - 2 3/4 =
[since 1/4 cannot minus 3/4, we need to convert one of the 5 wholes into quarters: 5 1/4 = 4 5/4 ]
5 1/4 - 2 3/4
= 4 5/4 - 2 3/4
= 2 2/4
= 2 1/2

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The values on the left of the table represent the number of fish caught, and the number of the right of the table represents how many family members caught that amount of fish.
Therefore, the first row means that 0 family members caught 0 fish.
The second row means that 3 family members caught 1 fish.
The third row would mean 1 family member caught 2 fish.
The next row would mean 0 family members caught 3 fish.
And the final row would mean 4 family members caught 4 fish.
The question does not ask for the total amount of fish caught; rather is ask for the maximum number of fish that a single family member caught.
Therefore, the maximum amount of fish that a single family member catches is 4. (And 4 family members did so. But individually, the maximum amount of fish one person caught is 4).
Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
