Question

Please show how to do this..
Find the value of sqrt(8)over 3 sqrt(4)

Answer 1

Is this your question?
\[\frac{\sqrt 8}{3\sqrt 4}\]

Answer 2

yes:)

Answer 3

Ok what are the factors of 8?

Answer 4

8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80

Answer 5

@ashlynnobrien those are multiples of 8, we need its factors
\[8= 1\times 2 \times 4\]
Isn't it?

Answer 6

Ohhh, yeah. I got that confused. So your right, the factors would be 1,2,4,8

Answer 7

Yeah so write
\(8= 2 \times 4\)
and then try to solve

Answer 8

That's how you solve a radical?

Answer 9

Here we'll try to remove the common term from the numerator and denominator
\[\frac{\sqrt 8}{3\sqrt4 }\]
\[\frac{\sqrt {4 \times 2 }}{3\sqrt4 }\]
\[\frac{\sqrt {4 }\sqrt{ 2 }}{3\sqrt4 }\]
Can you solve now?

Answer 10

you would cancel out the \[\sqrt{4}\] and be left with right?
