To find out how much more juice Paula has left than Jack, let's first determine how much each person drank and how much juice they have left.

1. **Paula's Juice**:
- She drank \( \frac{1}{8} \) of her bottle.
- Therefore, the amount of juice she has left is:
\[
1 - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}
\]

2. **Jack's Juice**:
- He drank \( \frac{5}{8} \) of his bottle.
- Therefore, the amount of juice he has left is:
\[
1 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{3}{8}
\]

3. **Finding the Difference**:
- Now, we find out how much more juice Paula has than Jack:
\[
\frac{7}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Since \( \frac{1}{2} \) is not one of the provided options, we can analyze where the inconsistency might arise. However, if we simply listen to the options:

- **Responses**:
- \( \frac{3}{8} \) of a bottle
- \( \frac{7}{8} \) of a bottle
- \( \frac{6}{8} \) of a bottle
- \( \frac{4}{8} \) of a bottle

The closest and most correct answer based on our calculations is not directly matching – in fact, using the options available, the final outcome would subtract \( \frac{3}{8} \) from \( \frac{7}{8} \), confirming the \( \frac{4}{8} \).

Thus:

**The difference in juice that Paula has more than Jack is:**
\[
\frac{4}{8} \text{ of a bottle}
\]

So the answer is \( \frac{4}{8} \) of a bottle.
