What fraction of the first pizza was left? The second?
Add those together. Let that be the variable l. 
l × (total mass) =540g

So, he ate 2/5 pieces of the first pizza, right? And 2/3 of the second:
(2/5) + (2/3) = (6/15) + (10/15) = (16/15)
Then, divide by 2 (because there were two pizzas):

8/15 overall of the pizza.
So, 7/15 were left.
If 7/15 of the total = 540g, what would 8/15 be?
