Question

Which choice is equivalent to the quotient below?

√32
OA.
√2
B. 4
C. 2
D. 24
SUBM

Answer 1

C (2)

Explanation:

• √32 = 4√2 ( bc √32 = √16×2 = √16×√2 = 4×√2 )

• √8 = 2√2 ( bc √8 = √4×2 = √4×√2 = 2×√2 )

So √32 ÷ √8 is equal to 4√2 ÷ 2√2

And there √2 cancels for both

So what you're left with is 4 ÷ 2

And 4÷2 = 2
