here are the solutions to the problems.

:

\frac{4}{8} - \frac{2}{8}

Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators.
$\frac{4 - 2}{8} = \frac{2}{8}$
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
$\frac{2 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{1}{4}$
The answer is $\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$ .

:
$3\frac{1}{4} + 3\frac{2}{4}$
Add the whole number parts.
$3 + 3 = 6$
Add the fractional parts.
Since the denominators are the same, add the numerators.
$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1 + 2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
Combine the whole number and fractional parts.
$6 + \frac{3}{4} = 6\frac{3}{4}$
The answer is $\boxed{6\frac{3}{4}}$ .
