Answer:

Mike ate
(3x)/(16) th portion of the pizza on Friday.

Explanation:

Let us consider the quantity of pizza = x

If Mike left
(3x)/(8) of the pizza in the refrigerator.

On Friday he ate
(1)/(2) the portion of pizza he ate =
(3x)/(8)* (1)/(2)

=
(3x)/(16)

Therefore, Mike ate
(3x)/(16) th portion of the pizza on Friday.
