Answer:

The next step for the evaluation of the given expression is:


(3)(5)+((1)/(3))(5)+(3)((1)/(4))+((1)/(3))((1)/(4))

Explanation:

We are given an arithmetic expression as follows:


(3+(1)/(3))(5)+(3+\fracx{1}{3})((1)/(4))

Now, in order to solve the given arithmetic expression we need to use the distributive property.

i.e.


(a+b)c=a\cdot c+b\cdot c

Now, the expression in the next step is written as follows:


(3+(1)/(3))(5)+(3+\fracx{1}{3})((1)/(4))=(3)(5)+((1)/(3))(5)+(3)((1)/(4))+((1)/(3))((1)/(4))
