The answer is:

Square root of 77
—————————
22

You need to rationalize the denominator meaning that you have to get rid of the square root signs in denominator

To get rationalize the denominator you need to multiply both sides by square root of 11

(Square root of 7)(square root of 11)
——————————————————
2(square root of 11)^2

When squaring a square root it makes the square root “go away”

(Square root of 77)
——————————
2(square root of 11^2 or 122) = 2(11)

So:

The answer is

square root of 77
—————————
22
