    The best estimation of the fraction of the batch that was left is 5/84

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mr. Gallegos has:

    A batch of muffins = 1

    He gave 11/21 of the batch to his neighbors:

    1 - 11/21 = 21/21 - 11/21 = 10/21

    He ate 1/8 of the batch himself:

    10/21 - 1/8 = 10/168

    = 10/168 (dividing by 2)

    = 5/84

    The best estimation of the fraction of the batch that was left is 5/84
