Answer:

3/8 of the pizza is left

Explanation:

say the pizza was cut into 8 slices. Justin at 1/4 of the pizza, we can also put that as 2/8. so now 2 slices are gone. that leaves us with 6 slices. Dan ate 3/8 so now 3 more slices are gone. now we only have 3 left. since we started out with 8 we'll use that as a denominator; 3/8. or look at the image attached
