\[ \frac{34}{16} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{15}{8} = 1.875 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{34}{16}\) and \(\frac{-2}{8}\) is \(16\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{34}{16} - \frac{2}{8} &= \frac{34 \cdot 1}{16 \cdot 1} + \frac{-2 \cdot 2}{8 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{34 + -4}{16} \\ &= \frac{30}{16} \\&= \frac{15}{8} \end{aligned} \]
