#1/4 and 3/4#

#2/8=1/4#

If he ate two slices then six slices are left
#6/8=3/4#

#1/4# is eaten, #3/4# is left.

The pizza is cut into #8# slices, each is one eighth.

The fraction he has eaten is #2/8#

#(2 div 2)/(8 div 2) =1/4# has been eaten.

A whole pizza is made up of #4/4#.

If #1/4# is eaten, #3/4# is left.

We could also have looked at the eighths.

There are #8# eighths. #2# of them are eaten.

There are #6# eighths left

#(6 div 2)/(8div2) = 3/4#
