To solve the expression \( \frac{15}{27} : \frac{5}{18} \), we can rewrite the division of fractions as multiplication by the reciprocal. Thus:
\[ \frac{15}{27} \div \frac{5}{18} = \frac{15}{27} \times \frac{18}{5} \]
Now, multiply the fractions:
\[ \frac{15 \times 18}{27 \times 5} \]
Calculating the numerator:
\[ 15 \times 18 = 270 \]
Calculating the denominator:
\[ 27 \times 5 = 135 \]
Now, we have:
\[ \frac{270}{135} \]
Next, we can simplify \( \frac{270}{135} \). Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 135:
\[ \frac{270 \div 135}{135 \div 135} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \]
Thus, the result of \( \frac{15}{27} : \frac{5}{18} \) is:
\[ \boxed{2} \]
