Answer: 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to solve this question, you just need to equalize the denominator

in 8/9 , 8 is the numerator and 9 is the denominator

in 1/3, 1 is the numerator and 3 is the denominator

in order to change 1/3 into denominator 9, you just need to multiply both numerator and denominator with 3 , which give us :

1/3 = 3/9

now back to the question

Alice has 8/9 , and ate 3/9 of them, this will give us :

8/9 - 3/9 = 5/9 which is left

so the answer is option D

hope this helps
