Answer:

The correct answer is
(√(5) )/(4)

Explanation:

When simplifying a fraction in a square root the square root can be applied to both the numerator and the denominator. So
\sqrt{(x)/(y) } is equal to
(√(x) )/(√(y) ) . In this problem, the square root of 5 is just
√(5), and the square root of 16 is
√(16), which is equal to 4.

Hope this helps!
