Answer:

7/3

Explanation:

To find 7/15 of 5, you can multiply 7/15 by 5:

(7/15) * 5 = (7/15) * (5/1)

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together:

(7/15) * (5/1) = (7 * 5) / (15 * 1) = 35/15

Now, to simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5:

(35/15) ÷ 5 = (35 ÷ 5) / (15 ÷ 5) = 7/3

So, 7/15 of 5 is equal to 7/3 in its simplest form as an improper fraction.
