The pizza diagram shows slices that represent unit fractions. Marcus ate some slices. Based on what the diagram shows, which statement correctly describes how much pizza Marcus ate?

Marcus ate $5 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$ of the pizza
Marcus ate $3 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8}$ of the pizza
Marcus ate $8 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{8}{5}$ of the pizza
Marcus ate $5 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ of the pizza

Explanation: The pizza is divided into 8 equal slices, and 5 slices are missing (eaten). Each slice represents 1/8, so Marcus ate 5 × 1/8 = 5/8 of the pizza. Choice B only counts 3 slices. Choice C uses wrong numbers (8/5 > 1 whole pizza). Choice D also gives more than 1 whole pizza.
