she ate 3/8 of the WHOLE pizza or 3/8 of the REMAINING pizza?
if the latter then
she had 5/8 P after party
she ate 3/8 * 5/8 P =15/64 P eaten
so (1 - 15/64) P is left = 49/64 P
You forgot the 3/8 eaten during the party.
1 - 3/8 - 15/64 = 39/64
so, 25/64 was left
After a party, 5/8 of a pizza was left over.
