Calculate Remaining Fraction: 1/4 Eaten from 3/8 of a Chocolate Cake

To solve this problem, we need to determine how much of the cake is left after Jorge consumes part of it. We know the following:

• The cake initially has 8 slices, with only 3 slices left, meaning $\frac{3}{8}$ of the cake remains.
• Jorge eats $\frac{1}{4}$ of the entire original cake.

We need to find $\frac{1}{4}$ in terms of eighths to subtract it from $\frac{3}{8}$:

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}$ since multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 2 converts it.

Thus, the amount of cake Jorge eats from the original amount available is equivalent to $\frac{2}{8}$ of the cake.

Now, we perform the subtraction to find the remaining portion of the cake:

$\frac{3}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the amount of cake left after Jorge eats his portion is $\frac{1}{8}$ of the original cake. Thus, the final solution is:

$\frac{1}{8}$.
