Answer:

The pie he have is  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]                              

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There was [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of a pie left in the fridge. Daniel ate [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the leftover pie.

To find : How much pie did he have?

Solution :

Left pie in the fridge is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Daniel ate the leftover pie is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Total amount of pie left is given by the difference in left pie and eaten pie,

[tex]n=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{5-1\times 2}{8}[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, The pie he have is  [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
