Answer 1

\[\sqrt{125} / \sqrt{5}\]

That?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

you can start by seeing if any of those 2 nubers are perfect squares

Answer 4

so multlply by sqrt5/sqrt5

Answer 5

multiply the both top and bottom by square root 5

Answer 6

(sqrt125*5)/5

Answer 7

\[\frac{ \sqrt{125}\sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5}\sqrt{5} }\]

Answer 8

you get sqrt625/5

Answer 9

=25/5=5

Answer 10

5

Answer 11

awesome answer alex! you are so smart. Now to see if the actual question person knows how to do that.

Answer 14

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

i learned it the hard way, it's tempting to just give the answer but seriously it's actually more fun to know the person knows what they are doing..

Answer 15

\(\frac{\sqrt{125}}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{5^\frac{3}{2}}{5^\frac{1}{2}}=5^{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}=5^\frac{2}{2}=5\)

Answer 16

my father teached me thats when i was 5

Answer 17

i think you missed the sarcastic statement by @DanJS

Answer 18

or \(\frac{\sqrt{125}}{\sqrt{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{125}{5}}=\sqrt{25}=5\)

Answer 19

Do you recall @juana02 that the square root of a number , is the same as the number to the 1/2 power?

\[\sqrt{n} = n ^{1/2}\]

Answer 20

for example
\[\sqrt{5} = 5^{1/2}\]

Answer 21

Or are you just doing square roots of perfect square numbers so far?

Answer 22

in the case where, these two expressions are equal, you can make it one square root

\[\frac{ \sqrt{125} }{ \sqrt{5} } = \sqrt{\frac{ 125 }{ 5 }}\]

Answer 23

ok i will be on for awhile, let me know when you return @juana02
