See the entire solution process below:

Using the distributive property we can rewrite this expression as:

$(15 \times 2) + (15 \times \frac{1}{3}) \to 30 + \frac{15}{3} \to 30 + 5 \to 35$ $(15 xx 2) + (15 xx 1/3) -> 30 + 15/3 -> 30 + 5 -> 35$

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate 15(2 1/3)15(213)15(2 1/3)?
