To simplify the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
First, we can distribute the 7/4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
7/4(8h+3) = (7/4)(8h) + (7/4)(3)
Next, we simplify the multiplication:
= (7/4)(8h) + (21/4)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together, and then multiply the denominators together:
= (7 * 8h) / (4 * 1) + (21/4)
= (56h) / 4 + 21/4
= 14h + 21/4
Expand 7/4(8h+3
