If I am reading you right, you mean this:
%281%2F3%29%2A%28%28%282a%29%2F5%29-3%29%2B4%2F15-2%2F3

By distributive property:
%282a%29%2F15-3%2F3+%2B+4%2F15+-+2%2F3+

It may help to find a common denominator of 15:
%282a%29%2F15+-+15%2F15+%2B+4%2F15+-+10%2F15
+%282a-15+%2B+4+-+10%29%2F15
+%282a+-+21%29%2F15
