1/8 becaue 1/2 equals 4/8 so if she brought 4/8 with her take away 3/8 that would equal 1/8

Answer: \(\frac{1}{8}\)


Step-by-step explanation:

The part of sandwich Keisha took to the picnic=\(\frac{1}{2}\) of whole sandwich

The part of sandwich ate by family=\(\frac{3}{8}\) of whole sandwich.

The part of sandwich Keisha bring back home=\(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{8}\)

\(=\frac{4-3}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{8}\) of the whole sandwich.

Hence, Keisha bring back \(\frac{1}{8}\) part of whole sandwich.
