Answer 1

Answer: 3 5/8 pizzas were there at the start of the party.

Explanation:

At the party let number of pizzas were = x Aisha and her friends ate 2 1/2 pizzas after which 1 1/8 pizzas were left.

Therefore the equation formed will be

x- 2 1/2= 1 1/8

x-(5/2)= 9/8

x= 9/8 + 5/2

x= 29/8= 3 5/8

Therefore 3 5/8 pizzas were there at the start of the party.
