To find out how much pizza is left, we can analyze the situation as follows:

  1. Whole Cheese Pizza: 1 pizza = 5/5
  2. Whole Pepperoni Pizza: 1 pizza = 5/5
  3. Whole Sausage Pizza: 1 pizza = 5/5
  4. Veggie Pizza: Originally 5 pieces, with 2 pieces left. Therefore, the amount left from the veggie pizza = 2/5.

Now we can add all of these together:

  1. Whole pizzas: 3 pizzas (one cheese, one pepperoni, one sausage) = 3 * (5/5) = 15/5.
  2. Plus the leftover veggie pizza: 2/5

Now, add them together:

15/5 + 2/5 = 17/5

Now, convert this improper fraction into a mixed number:

17 divided by 5 is 3 with a remainder of 2. So, we have:

3 (whole pizzas) 2/5 (remaining from the veggie pizza).

Thus, the mixed number that represents the amount of pizza that is left is 3 2/5.

Therefore, the correct response is:

3 2 fifths.
