James orders an 8 piece pizza.  His friend eats 2 slices and James eats half of what is left.  How many slices does James eat?
There are 8-2=<<8-2=6>>6 slices left after his friend eats some slices
That means So he eats 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 slices

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
You are solving math problems. Here are some examples of how to solve the task:

James can make 4 hats out of one yard of velvet. He needs three yards of velvet to make a cloak. How much velvet does he need to make 6 cloaks and 12 hats?First find the total amount of velvet James uses on the hats: 12 hats / 4 hats/yard = <<12/4=3>>3 yards
Then find the total amount of velvet he needs to make the cloaks: 6 cloaks * 3 yards/cloak = <<6*3=18>>18 yards
Then add those two amounts to find the total amount of velvet he needs: 3 yards + 18 yards = <<3+18=21>>21 yards

Amy biked 12 miles yesterday. If she biked 3 miles less than twice as far as yesterday, how many miles did she bike in total in the two days?Twice the distance Amy biked yesterday is 12*2 = <<12*2=24>>24 miles
If Amy biked 3 miles less than twice as far as yesterday, she biked 24-3 = <<24-3=21>>21 miles today.
The total distance she biked in the two days is 21+12 = <<21+12=33>>33 miles

Now, solve this next question in the style of the above examples:

James orders an 8 piece pizza.  His friend eats 2 slices and James eats half of what is left.  How many slices does James eat?

### Response:
There are 8-2=<<8-2=6>>6 slices left after his friend eats some slices
That means So he eats 6/2=<<6/2=3>>3 slices
