Here is the solution for the given problem above.

Given that in the whole pizza, 2/5 of it is pepperoni (which makes 3/5 of the pizza has different flavor). What we are going to find is how much of all the pizza ordered was eaten by the kids, since only 1/3 of the pepperoni pizza is eaten by them. So to solve this, we will multiply 1/3 by 2/5 and the answer would be 2/15. Therefore, the answer is 2/15 of the pizza was eaten by the kids.
