Answer:

amount left = [tex] 3\frac{7}{8} [/tex] pounds


Explanation:

the original bag is 5 pounds

We know that she used [tex] 1\frac{1}{8} [/tex] of a pound


Therefore, the remaining amount can simply be computed by subtracting what she used from the original weight


Therefore:

amount left = 5 - [tex]1 \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

amount left = [tex] 3\frac{7}{8} [/tex] pounds


Hope this helps :)
