To find out what fraction of the pizza was left for Jack, we need to subtract the amount Max ate from the whole pizza.
Max ate 5/8 of the pizza, which means 5 out of 8 equal parts were eaten.
To find out how much is left, we subtract 5/8 from 1 whole pizza or 8/8.
To perform the subtraction, we need to have the same denominator.
The denominator for both fractions is already 8, so we can directly subtract the numerator.
8/8 - 5/8 = (8 - 5)/8 = 3/8
Therefore, 3/8 of the pizza was left for Jack.
