To solve the problem, we need to find out how much beef James used and subtract that amount from the total amount he bought.
James used 3/4 of 1 1/8 kg of beef to make patties. We can first convert 1 1/8 to an improper fraction:
1 1/8 = 9/8
Now we can multiply 9/8 by 3/4 to find out how much beef James used:
9/8 x 3/4 = 27/32
So James used 27/32 kg of beef to make patties.
To find out how much beef he had left, we can subtract 27/32 from the original amount he bought (which was 1 1/8 or 9/8):
9/8 - 27/32 = 36/32 - 27/32 = 9/32
Therefore, James had 9/32 kg of beef left after making patties.
