Final answer:

To determine how many 1/8 portions there are in 3/4 of a pizza, we divide 6/8 (which is equivalent to 3/4) by 1/8 to get 6. Therefore, there are six 1/8 portions in 3/4 of a pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many 1/8 portions of pizza are present in a leftover that is 3/4 of a pizza. To find the answer, we can divide the fraction representing the whole pizza leftover (3/4) by the fraction representing the portion size (1/8).

Step-by-step solution:

Convert the whole pizza portion into eighths: 3/4 = 6/8 (since 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8 when both fractions have the same denominator).

Next, we determine how many times the size of a 1/8 portion fits into 6/8: 6/8 ÷ 1/8 = 6. This division indicates that there are 6 portions of size 1/8 in 3/4 of a pizza.

Therefore, there are six 1/8 portions in 3/4 of a pizza.
