Answer 1

Damarian ate
`(5)/(8)` pizzas out of
`(11)/(8)` pizzas

SOLUTION:

Given, Damarian arrived to the party late 4

And realized there was only
`1(3)/(8)` pizzas left

He ate
`(5)/(11)` of it

We need to find how much did he ate.

Now, the value of left over pizza is in mixed fraction, let us convert it into improper fraction.

`1 (3)/(8)=(1 * 8+3)/(8)=(11)/(8)`

So,
`(11)/(8)` are there by the time he came, and he ate
`(5)/(11)` of them.

Now, pizzas ate by him = left over pizza
`*` fraction that he ate.

`=(11)/(8) * (5)/(11)` =
`=(5)/(8)`

Hence Damarian ate
`(5)/(8)` pizzas out of
`(11)/(8)` pizzas
