So, first of all, you can make both the numerator and the denominator separate square roots, like this \[\frac{ \sqrt{4x ^{2}} }{ \sqrt{3y}}\] Then, you may notice that the numerator can be simplified, since it is a perfect square. Let's do that too. Now we have this \[\frac{ 2x }{ \sqrt{3y} }\] and I think that's all the simplification you can do

Sarah10:

Thank you i was really unsure if i should remove the square root on the 2

SmokeyBrown:

aye, no worries You'd remove the square root because the square root cancels the squared numerator

Sarah10:

sorry i meant the square root symbol forgot what its called

SmokeyBrown:

Oh, I gotcha. I had to Google it, but apparently it's called a radicand? Huh, til

Sarah10:
