Answer:


3√(2)/2

Explanation:

first we take the square root of the top and bottom:


(√(72) )/(√(16) )

The denominator is 4. The numerator is harder to solve. To solve, we need to look at the factors of 72.

72= 8 * 9. This means that
√(72) =√(8) *√(9) \\

We know that the square root of 9 is 3, so now we have


(3√(8) )/(4)

We're almost done!

Since 8= 2*4, and the square root of 4 is 2,


(3*2*√(2))/(4)

last, we simplify and get


(3√(2))/(2)
