Simplify 15(2/5+1 1/3)+3

so for order of operations you start inside the parentheses and in order to add the insides you will need a common denominator which would be 15 on the bottom. So for 2/5 it would be 6/15 and for 11/3 would be 55/15 and then added together it would be 61/15. so then you would multiply and get 15(61/15). the 15 in the numerator will cancel with the denominator leaving only 61 and then the final step would be adding the 3 to 61 and the final answer will be 64
