For this case we must simplify the following expression:


\sqrt {\frac {16} {25}}

We can rewrite 16 as:
2 ^ 4 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

We can rewrite 25 as:
5 ^ 2 = 5 * 5


\sqrt {\frac {2 ^ 4} {5 ^ 2}} =\\\frac {\sqrt {2 ^ 4}} {\sqrt {5 ^ 2}} =

By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:


\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

Then, rewriting the expression:


\frac {2 ^ 2} {5} =\\\frac {4} {5}

Answer:


\frac {4} {5}
