To solve for a , we can start by cross multiplying.

2/5 a = 4/15

Cross multiply:
2 * 15 = 5 * 4
30 = 20

Now, we can divide both sides by 5 to solve for a :

a = (4/15) * (5/2)
a = 1.33

Therefore, a = 1.33

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve for a correctly this time:

2/5 a = 4/15

To isolate a , we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5/2 to cancel out the fraction on the left side:

(5/2) * (2/5) a = (5/2) * (4/15)
a = 4/6
a = 2/3

Therefore, a = 2/3.
