Question

What is the follwoing quotient? square root of 120 divided by square root of 30

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

Rationalize the denominator to solve this:

`(√(120) )/(√(30) ) *(√(30) )/(√(30) )`

When you multiply out the denominator, you get 30, which is why we do this. The product of the numerator is the square root of 3600 which is a perfect square. 60 * 60 = 3600. Therefore, the quotient is 60 / 30 = 2
