Simplify the following.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

(2f-17h)/24k

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make the common denominator for 3k and 8k in the form of 24k, so we get (multiply the first fraction by 8 and the second one by 3 to get 24k on each denominator) (8f-32h)/3k-(6f-15h)/24k. Now we can just subtract the numerators :

8f-32h-6f+15h (sign gets flipped on 6f and 15h), so we get

(2f-17h)/24k

AVprozaik [17]

\bf 400,000,000\implies 4\times 10^8 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{\textit{desktop users}}{\textit{mobile users}}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{1.2\times 10^9}{4\times 10^8}\implies \cfrac{12\times 10^8}{4\times 10^8}\implies \cfrac{12}{4}\times\cfrac{10^8}{10^8}\implies \cfrac{3}{1}

3 : 1, or 3 to 1, thus 3 times as many.
