To find the value of a that will make the sum of a and 2/5 equal to 4/15, you would solve the equation a + 2/5 = 4/15.
First, subtract 2/5 from both sides to isolate a:
a = 4/15 - 2/5
Next, find a common denominator for the fractions on the right side:
a = (4/15 * 3/3) - (2/5 * 3/3)
a = 12/45 - 6/45
Finally, subtract the fractions to get the value of a:
a = 6/45
a = 2/15
Therefore, a = 2/15 which will make the sum of a and 2/5 equal to 4/15.
what is does a= for you to add it to 2/5 to = 4/15 what will a=
