Solve for a . Simplify if needed. 2/5a=4/15

Question

a=

Answer 1

2/5a = 4/15

To solve for a , we need to isolate a on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/5, which is 5/2.

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

1a = 10/30
a = 1/3

Therefore, the solution is a = 1/3.
