we know that

1) You have
3/4 of a pie leftover after your party

2) Each

guest takes home
1/6 of the leftover pie

To find the fraction of the original pie does each guest take home,

Multiply
3/4 by
1/6

so


(3)/(4) *(1)/(6) =(3)/(24)

Simplify

Divide by
3 both numerator and denominator


(3)/(24)=(1)/(8)

therefore

the answer is


(1)/(8)
