Answer:
(4)/(15) of the pizza was left

Explanation:

lets first get the denominators the same..


(1)/(3) = (5)/(15)


(2)/(5) = (6)/(15)

To find the total pizza eaten we add these two fractions


(5)/(15) +(6)/(15) =(11)/(15)

we can think of
(15)/(15) as 1 pizza because it simplifies to 1


(15)/(15) -(11)/(15) =(4)/(15)

Therefore,
(4)/(15) of the pizza was left
