5/√11
In this case:
if you want to delete the roots in the denominator you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by √11; therefore:
(5/√11)(√11/√11)=5√11/11.

answer; a)5√11/11

Answer:

Option A is correct

the expression is equal to
(5)/( √(11)) is
\frac{5√(11)} {11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,
(5)/( √(11))

Multiply and divide by the denominator by
√(11) in the given expression, we have,


(5)/(√(11)) * \frac{√(11)} { √(11)}

or


\frac{5 \cdot √(11)} {√(11) \cdot √(11)}

use :
√(a)\cdot√(a)=(√(a) )^2 = a

then;


\frac{5√(11)} { (√(11))^2} =\frac{5√(11)} {11}

Therefore, the expression is equal to
(5)/( √(11)) is,
\frac{5√(11)} {11}
