    12 pieces

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since on Thursday Glenn and Ben each ate an eight, then total they ate 2*1/8=2/8=¼

    ¼ of 24 pieces is equivalent to

    ¼*24=6 pieces

    The number of pieces that remain would be 24-6=18 pieces

    The one third of leftover ate rhe next day will be equivalent to

    ⅓ of 18

    ⅓*18=6 pieces

    Remaining pieces next day will be 18-6=12 pieces

    Therefore, only 12 pieces out of 24 original pieces remain the following day.
