Answer:

1 1/8 pizza (or 1 whole pizza and 1 eighth of a pizza)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 1 whole pizza and 4 eighth's of a pizza.

If Sara eats 3 of those eighth's, only 1 eighth will remain (as well as the untouched whole pizza).

13/24 because you have to multiply the denominators then the numerators by 3 and 8 so 7/8x 3/3 = 21/24 then 1/3 x8 = 8/24 then subtract 21/24-8/24= what gets you 13/24
