Question

√2÷√5

Answer 1

think of it as this: \(\Huge\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt5}\)

Answer 2

how would you simplify this @helpme375 ?

Answer 3

yes how do you simplify this

Answer 4

You simplify it by multiplying the numerator and denominator by another radical number. This way you can factor the squares out much like prime factorization. So square root 20= square root 4 times 5 where square root 4 becomes 2...so if that helps.

Answer 5

Let me type the equation so it's more clear.

Answer 6

okay

Answer 7

nice you beat me @mk2013 .. i will let you take it from here, kudos!

Answer 8

It can actually be written several ways but most likely you just need to rationalize the denominator by multiplying both to a factor of square root 5. Thus the denominator becomes 5 and numerator root 10.
