No, that's 3/4
3/8 minus 1/2 is -1/8
(3/2)-(5/8) = 7/8 or 0.875
3 eighths. three fourths is the same as six eighths, so subtract your 3/8 and you have 3/8 left

Firstly it is easiest if you convert them into full fractions (with no whole numbers on the side so the fraction is top heavy)4 x 12 = 487 + 48 = 56So 4 and 7 twelves is equal to 56 twelvesSimilarly we can work out 3 and 11 twelves3 x 12 = 3611 + 36 = 47So this is equal to 47 twelvesBecause the denominator is the same, you can simply subtract the nominator:So you have 56 twelves subtract 47 twelves56 - 47 = 9. so the answer is 9 twelvles.This can then be simplified by dividing by three to get,The answer is 3/4 (three quarters).
There are 19 because 19/8 = 2 and 3/8
