add, multiply, subtract, divide
simplify!
blank fraction pounds

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values

Greatest weight = $2$ lbs, Smallest weight = $\frac{1}{4}$ lbs

Step2: Select operation

Use subtraction to find difference: $2 - \frac{1}{4}$

Step3: Convert to common denominator

$2 = \frac{8}{4}$, so $\frac{8}{4} - \frac{1}{4}$

Step4: Calculate and simplify

$\frac{8-1}{4} = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

Operation: SUBTRACT
Difference: $\frac{7}{4}$ or $1\frac{3}{4}$ pounds
