Solve for a . Simplify if needed. 2/5a=4/15 (1 point) simplify

Answer 1

To solve for a, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate a:

2/5a = 4/15
(5)(2/5a) = (5)(4/15)
2a = 20/15
2a = 4/3

Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for a:

a = (4/3) / 2
a = 4/6
a = 2/3

Therefore, a = 2/3.
