$$\frac { a } { 5 } = \frac { 7 } { 15 }$$

$a = \frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3} \approx 2.333333333$

Multiply both sides by $5$.

$$a=\frac{7}{15}\times 5$$

Express $\frac{7}{15}\times 5$ as a single fraction.

$$a=\frac{7\times 5}{15}$$

Multiply $7$ and $5$ to get $35$.

$$a=\frac{35}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{35}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$a=\frac{7}{3}$$
