Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are a total of 6 persons including billy and his 5 friends

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\ \text{of the pizza is left}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ \text{of pizza must be divided among 6 friends}[/tex]

each friend gets [tex]\dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{6}=\dfrac{3}{4\times 6}=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

So, each gets  [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]  of the whole pizza
