Why would you divide the total acceleration (7.5) by 2, when finding acceleration for each block, rather than dividing by 3 because there are 3 blocks, any clarification would be greatly appreciated

It is the change of velocity over time, so for example how much change in velocity (m/s) you have per second. So the unit of acceleration is meters per second per second, or just per square second.
