This is equal to:

When you add a negative number, it turns into subtraction.
First, I would change it to mixed numbers:

Now, you need to change the denominators to make sure they are the same on both fractions. I changed the first fraction's denominator to 4 so they match. You can do this by multiplying the numerator by 2:

Now, you simply subtract:
10-9=1
1/4 is your answer.
I hope this helps :)

Answer:
I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.
We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.
For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.
Then the quotient of model A is:
72/100 = 0.72
For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.
Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:
x/10 should be larger than 72/100
then we have the inequality:
x/10 > 0.72
x > 0.72*10
x > 7.2
And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:
10 ≥ x > 7.2
Then x can be any whole number in that interval.
the possible values of x are:
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
