Answer:

4\frac{1}{8} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Susie bought 4\frac{3}{4} pounds of cherries at a store.

This is equal to \frac{19}{4} pounds.

She ate \frac{5}{8} pounds out of it.

Therefore, the number of pounds of cherries that Susie is left with =    

\frac{19}{4} - \frac{5}{8}

= \frac{38-5}{8}

= \frac{33}{8}

= 4\frac{1}{8} pounds

Susie is left with 4\frac{1}{8} pounds of cherries.
