(9√25) /√50 = 9*5/√50 now simplify the denominator. √50=√25*√2=5√2
so (9*5)/(5√2) simplifies to 9/√2. To rationalize the denominator multiply both the numerator and the denominator by √2.
9√2/(√2*√2) = 9√2/2

Answer:

radical form of the fraction is
(9√(2) )/(2)

Explanation:

We have to simplify the radical expression by rationalizing the denominator.

Given fraction is
(9√(25) )/(√(50) )

we will simplify the numeration and denominator of the given fraction.

Numerator
9√(25)=(9)(5)=45

Denominator
√(50)=√((25)(2))=(√(2))(√(25))

=
5√(2)

Now the fraction is
(45)/(5√(2) ) =(9)/(√(2) )

Now for radical expression we will multiply with
√(2) with numerator as well as denominator both


((9)/(√(2) ))((√(2) )/(√(2) ))=(9√(2) )/(2)

Therefore, radical form of the fraction is
(9√(2) )/(2)
