2 5/8
Whenever you have these kinds of problems, borrow one of the integers (from 3) and make a fraction that is the same as what you are subtracting.
So you can say that 3 is the exact same as saying 2 8/8. (2 + 1)
In that case, you can now say
2 8/8
- 3/8
-------
2 5/8

3 - 3/8 = 2 and 5/8.
You could also make the number an improper fraction...with a denominator of 8.
3 = 3*8/8
3 = 24/8
So 24/8 - 3/8 = 21/8
21/8 is like having 8/8 + 8/8 + 5/8, and since 8/8 is equal to 1....
1 + 1 +5/8
= 2 and 5/8

3/1 which u multply by 8 so u get 24/8
24/8-3/8 then subtract numerators
