Answer:
[tex]3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Aisha and her friends ate [tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] pizzas.
After the party, the remaining pizza is [tex]1\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] pizzas.
Now,
[tex]2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4+1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{8+1}{8}=\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex]
Pizzas at the starting = Pizza eaten by Aisha and her friends + Remaining pizza
[tex]=\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{9}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{20+9}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{29}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]3\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas were there at the start of the party.
