Answer:- The whole pie will be left after he eats tomorrow is
(25)/(36) of the whole pie.


Explanation:-

Pie left from dinner=
(5)/(6)

If victor plans to eat 1/6 of the pie that was left,

The whole pie will be left =
(5)/(6)-(1)/(6)\ of\ (5)/(6)


=(5)/(6)-(1)/(6)*((5)/(6))\\\\=(5)/(6)-(5)/(36)\\\\=(30-5)/(36)=(25)/(36)

Therefore, the whole pie will be left after he eats tomorrow is
(25)/(36) of the whole pie.
