Answer:

3 and 1/4 left

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's subtract the amount Eric shared from the total amount he had:

6 and 7/8 pizzas (total) - 3 and 5/8 pizzas (shared) = ?

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately:

Whole numbers: 6 - 3 = 3

Fractions: 7/8 - 5/8 = 2/8 (which simplifies to 1/4)

OR

[tex] \sf 6 \frac{7}{8} - 3 \frac{5}{8} \\ \\ \sf \frac{55}{8} - \frac{29}{8} \\ \\ \sf \frac{26}{8} = 3 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

So, Eric has 3 and 1/4 pizzas left.

Answer:

26/8 or 3  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

Eric initially has 6 7​/8

pizzas, which is equivalent to 55​/8

He shares 3  5​/8

of those pizzas, which is equivalent to 29/8​

Subtract the shared amount from the original amount:

55/8​−29​/8=26​/8    

26/8 is also 3 1/4 as a mixed number.
