Instead of "a half", write "eight sixteenths". That doesn't change the value of any numbers, but it makes it a lot easier to subtract the three sixteenths from the eight sixteenths.
7 eighths = 14 sixteenths 14-3 = 11 so the answer is 11 sixteenths
3/16 x 8 = 1.5

1 1/16 - 3/8 = 11/16, or eleven sixteenths.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
