abb0t · Answer

When you multiply by two radicals, the radical gets taken off. So, the denominator should simply be 48, not $\sf \sqrt{48}$

anonymous · Answer

So is it A, B, C, or D? Sorry, kinda in a rush here.

abb0t · Answer

The answer is wrong, it should be: $\sf \large \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$

anonymous · Answer

A.
The student failed to multiply the expression correctly in step 1.
B.
The student failed to distribute the products correctly in step 2.
C.
There is no error in the math, but the answer may be simplified further.
D.
There is no error in the math, and the answer cannot be simplified further.
