Final answer:

To find the amount of pizza left over, we subtract the amount consumed from the total amount of pizza. Jessye has 44 1/4 parts of pizza left over.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much pizza was left over, we need to subtract the amount of pizza consumed from the total amount of pizza. Since each pizza had 3/8 of the total pizza remaining, this means that 5/8 of each pizza was consumed. Therefore, the total amount of pizza consumed is 5/8 multiplied by the total number of pizzas, which is 5/8 * 6 = 30/8 = 15/4.

To find the amount of pizza left over, we subtract the amount consumed from the total amount of pizza. The total amount of pizza is 6 pizzas, and each pizza is divided into 8 equal parts. So, the total amount of pizza is 6 * 8 = 48 parts. The amount of pizza consumed is 15/4 parts. Therefore, the amount of pizza left over is 48 - 15/4 = (48 * 4 - 15)/4 = 192/4 - 15/4 = 177/4.

Therefore, Jessye has 177/4 or 44 1/4 parts of pizza left over.
