Answer:


3(5)/(8) pizzas.

Explanation:

It is given that Aisha and her friends ate
2(1)/(2) pizzas.

After the party, the remaining pizza is
1(1)/(8) pizzas.

Now,


2(1)/(2)=(4+1)/(2)=(5)/(2)


1(1)/(8)=(8+1)/(8)=(9)/(8)

Pizzas at the starting = Pizza eaten by Aisha and her friends + Remaining pizza


=(5)/(2)+(9)/(8)


=(20+9)/(8)


=(29)/(8)


=3(5)/(8)

Therefore,
3(5)/(8) pizzas were there at the start of the party.
