The answer is a because Marco ate 3/8. 3/8 plus one is 4/8 for Ramon. That together makes 7/8. There is only 1/8 left.

To find out how much pizza Emilio ate, we first need to determine how many slices Marco and Ramon ate.

We are given that the pizza was divided into 8 slices, and Marco ate 3/8 of the pizza.

To find how many slices Marco ate, we can multiply the total number of slices (8) by the fraction representing Marco's share (3/8):

8 * (3/8) = 24/8 = 3 slices

So, Marco ate 3 slices of pizza.

We are also given that Ramon ate 1 slice more than Marco.

To find how many slices Ramon ate, we can add 1 to Marco's consumption:

3 + 1 = 4 slices

So, Ramon ate 4 slices of pizza.

To find out how much Emilio ate, we can subtract the number of slices Marco and Ramon ate from the total number of slices:

8 slices - 3 slices - 4 slices = 1 slice

Therefore, Emilio ate 1 slice of the pizza.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1/8 of the pizza.
