Well first you have to make 1/4 into a fraction with 8 as a denominator so that would be, 2/8. then add 2/8 and 7/8 together and get 9/8 which=1 1/8. then change 1 1/8 and 1/3 so they have the same denominater, them just subtract

He would have 19/24 cup of solution left.

7/8+1/4

7/3+2/8

9/8-1/3

27/24-8/24=19/24
