Simplify square root 15 divided by square root 3

2 Answers

We are given the following to simplify:


√(15) ÷
√(3)

First, we need to apply the radical rule,
(√(a) )/(√(b) ) = (√(a) )/(√(b) ) , a\geq 0,b\geq 0

This being said, we need to write our expression using the rule, writing it as follows:


(√(15) )/(√(3) ) = (√(15) )/(√(3) )

Then, we divide the numbers 15 and 3.


(15)/(3) = 5

Hence, our solution would be
√(5).

Hope this helps!
