\[\huge\rm \frac{ 3\sqrt{7} }{ 5\sqrt{7} }\] like this ?

Yes I wasn't sure I was writing it correctly
Nnesha (nnesha):
can you cancel out anything ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi Nnesha was my answer correct?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
The square root of 7 terms cancel
\[\Large \frac{ 3\sqrt{7} }{ 5\sqrt{7} }\]
\[\Large \frac{ 3\color{red}{\sqrt{7}} }{ 5\color{red}{\sqrt{7}} }\]
\[\Large \frac{ 3\cancel{\color{red}{\sqrt{7}}} }{ 5\cancel{\color{red}{\sqrt{7}}} }\]
\[\Large \frac{3}{5}\]
Just leaving the fraction 3/5. I'm not sure how you got 7&1/5

Ok my choices for answers were
7 1/5
7 5/3
7 2/15
That's what threw me off. I had the canceling done correctly but wasn't sure how these were the choices. But thank you for assisting me I appreciate it😀
