14 1/4 - 4 1/3 - 6 2/5 =
least common denominator is 60..therefore:
14 1/4 = 57/4 => 855/60
4 1/3 = 13/3 => 260/60
6 2/5 = 32/5 => 384/60
855/60 - 260/60 - 384/60 = (855 - 260 - 384)/60 = 211/60 => 3 31/60 cups

First, convert all the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
14 1/4 - 4 1/3 - 6 2/5
= 53/4 - 13/3 - 32/5
Then find the lowest common factor. The denominators are 4, 3, and 5, so multiply them to get a common denominator of 60.
= 3180/60 - 780/60 - 1920/60
Simplify.
= (3180 - 780 - 1920) / 60
= 480 / 60
= 8 cups
