Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

Isaac ate 1/6 of the pizza.

1 - 1/6 = 1/1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6

After Isaac ate 1/6 of the pizza, the pizza remaining is 5/6 of the pizza.

Maya eats 3/5 of the remaining 5/6.

1 - 3/5 = 1/1 - 3/5 = 5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5

After Maya eats her part, 2/5 of the of Isaac's remainder is left.

2/5 × 5/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

Answer: 1/3
