solve for a. simplify if needed. 2/5a = 4/15

a= what

1 answer

To solve for a, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction on the left side:

2/5a = 4/15
5 * 2/5a = 5 * 4/15
2a = 4/3

Next, we can divide by 2 to isolate the variable a:

2a ÷ 2 = (4/3) ÷ 2
a = 2/3

Therefore, a = 2/3.
