Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Mrs. Jones had pizzas left from which she gave some to Gary.

Now that she is left with pizza left, we are to find the fraction of the pizza she gave to Gary.

Assuming to be the fraction she gave to Gary, we can write it as:

= 5/8

The correct answer is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,Mrs. Jones had 1 4/8 pizzas left after a party. After giving some to Gary, she had 7/8 pizza left

Let 'x' be the fraction of pizza given to Gary

To find the value of x

We can write,

1 4/8 - 7/8 = x

12/8 - 7/8 =x

x = (12 - 7)/8 = 5/8

Therefore the fraction of a pizza given to Gary = 5/8
