Question

how do you simplify 24-8 root 3 over 6? the correct answer is 12-4 root 3 over 3 but i’m just confused on how you simplify to get to that answer

Answer 1

You simplify the fraction by dividing 2 to the nominator and the denominator. So 24/2=12, 8/2=4, 6/2=3. You can only divide a root with a root number so in this case the root three doesn't get affected
