Fractions

 

Daddy bought 8 pizzas for my birthday party. Each pizza was cut into 8 slices. If we ate 6 3/4 missing pizzas, how many pizzas were there left?    

 

I'm not sure how you eat a missing pizza. 

Anyway, skip my misgivings about syntax,

and what I see being asked is as follows:  

 

If you have 8 pizzas and eat 6 3/4 pizzas, how many pizzas are left?  

 

This is calculated by   8 – 6³/₄  =  1¹/₄ pizzas are left
