Simplifying a symbolic expression

Hi Everyone, I wanted to know how can I simplify this symbolic expression(with assumption : L>0):

(1.346491*q*(L^2)^(7/2))/(L^5*abs(L)) - 0.1559454*F

like this one:

1.346491*q*(L) - 0.1559454*F

(Before this I have expanded and simplified the expression, but it only works partially; the problem is about the fractions defined as symbolic and won't change, like (7/2))

Use the vpa function:

syms L F q
Eqn = (1.346491*q*(L^2)^(7/2))/(L^5*abs(L)) - 0.1559454*F;
Simplified_Eqn = vpa(simplify(Eqn, 'Steps',10))

Simplified_Eqn =
      1.3464910000000001044639930114499*L*q - 0.15594540000000001178648290078854*F
