\(\bf \cfrac{10\div 2}{2\div 2}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 5 @jdoe0001
OpenStudy (darkigloo):
its not 5..
\[\frac{ 10 }{ \sqrt{2} } \]
multiply the top and bottom by sqrt 2 \[\frac{ 10\sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2} }\]
\[\frac{ 10\sqrt{2} }{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (darkigloo):
divide by 2 on top and bottom
OpenStudy (darkigloo):
5√2 is your answer.

**Whenever you have a radical in the bottom of a fraction, you multiply the top and bottom by that radical number.
