To find the fraction of the pie that is left, we need to subtract the number of pieces served from the total number of pieces.
Total number of pieces: 8
Number of pieces served: 5
Fraction of pie left: Total pieces − Served pieces = 8 − 5 = 3
Therefore, 3 out of 8 pieces of the pie are left. The correct response is 3/8.
