[tex]\sf 3 \dfrac{3}{8}-2\dfrac{1}{4} \div 1\dfrac{1}{2}= \dfrac{27}{8}-\dfrac{9}{4}\div\dfrac{3}{2} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]\sf = \dfrac{27}{8}-\dfrac{9}{4}*\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{27}{8}-\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{27}{8}-\dfrac{3*4}{2*4} \ [\text{LCM of 2 and 8 is 8}]\\\\=\dfrac{27}{8}-\dfrac{12}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{27-12}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{8}\\\\=1\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]
