1.6 hours per week is the difference in time spent online by teens in these (Pittsburgh and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale) cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Teens in Pittsburgh aged 12-17 spend 15.8 hours per week online. Let take as,

P = 15.8 hours per week

Teens in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale spend 14.2 hours per week online. Let take this as,

M = 14.2 hours per week

We need to find the difference in time spent online by teens in both cities. It means 'difference (d) '. Hence,

Difference (d) = P - M

Difference (d) = 15.8 - 14.2

Difference (d) = 1.6 hours per week

1.6 hours per week is the difference in time spent online by teens in these cities (Pittsburgh and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale).
