Answer 1

Answer: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amelia ordered 2 large pizzas for the party

After the party, half of one pizza and three-eight of pizza is left from other pizza

Sum of the remaining pizzas

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{8}+\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4+3}{8}=\dfrac{7}{8}$

seven-eight is a fraction which is less than 1

Hence, less than 1 pizza is left

So, option (b) is correct.
