Answer:

C. [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-This question tests our knowledge on subtraction.

-Given that the Math club had 1/8 left and the Latin club had 2 3/8 left.

#We subtract Math's leftover from Latin's left over to get how much more pizza did the Latin club have leftover than the math club:

[tex]\bigtriangleup Pizza=Latin -Math\\\\=2\frac{3}{8}-1\frac{1}{8}\\\\=(2-1)+(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8})\\\\=1+\frac{2}{8}\\\\=1\frac{2}{8}\\\\=1\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Hence, Latin club has [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] more left than Math club.
