Simplify into lowest terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1/3\sqrt{27}+1/2\sqrt{108}-\sqrt{48}\]

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

1/3\(\sqrt{9.3}\) + 1/2\(\sqrt{36.3}\) - \(\sqrt{16.3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(5\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{32}/(\sqrt{2}/2)\]

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now you can take out the perfect square roots and you have 1/3(3) \(\sqrt{3}\) + 1/2(6) \(\sqrt{3}\) - 4\(\sqrt{3}\)

Sorry but I'm still unclear as to how to solve the equation you just posted...

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now 1/3 times 3 = 1 and 1/2 times 6 = 3, so you have left \(\sqrt{3}\) +3\(\sqrt{3}\) - 4\(\sqrt{3}\)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what part don't you understand ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Root 3 plus 3 root 3 equals 4 root 3 and then it is subtracted by 4 root 3. Does that mean the answer is 0?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

that is what it looks like :)

Oh...ok. Thank you!
