a) $$ \frac{3}{7}a = \frac{3}{7} \cdot 2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{7} \cdot \frac{7}{3} = 1 $$;
б) При $$ b = 1\frac{1}{5} $$: $$ \frac{5}{12}b = \frac{5}{12} \cdot 1\frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{12} \cdot \frac{6}{5} = \frac{1}{2} $$;
При $$ b = 2\frac{2}{5} $$: $$ \frac{5}{12}b = \frac{5}{12} \cdot 2\frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{12} \cdot \frac{12}{5} = 1 $$.
