1/8 becaue 1/2 equals 4/8 so if she brought 4/8 with her take away 3/8 that would equal 1/8

Answer:
(1)/(8)


Explanation:

The part of sandwich Keisha took to the picnic=
(1)/(2) of whole sandwich

The part of sandwich ate by family=
(3)/(8) of whole sandwich.

The part of sandwich Keisha bring back home=
(1)/(2)-(3)/(8)


=(4-3)/(8)\\\\=(1)/(8) of the whole sandwich.

Hence, Keisha bring back
(1)/(8) part of whole sandwich.
