1. The apple is divided into 8 equal slices, so it is represented by the fraction $$ \frac{8}{8} $$.

2. Nancy eats 2 slices, so the remaining slices are $$ 8 - 2 = 6 $$.

3. The fraction representing the amount of apple left is $$ \frac{6}{8} $$.

4. Simplify $$ \frac{6}{8} $$ by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (2):

$$
   \frac{6 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{3}{4}
   $$

Thus, the equivalent fraction for the amount of apple left is $$ \frac{3}{4} $$.
The amount of apple left is $$ \frac{3}{4} $$.
