Question

What is the square root of 5 divided by the square root of 15 and simplify and in fraction form​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{3} }$

or

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{15} }$ can be simplified by first writing the fraction under one single radical instead of two.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} }{\sqrt{15} } = \sqrt{\frac{5}{15} }$

5/15 simplifies because both share the same factor 5.

It becomes $\sqrt{\frac{5}{15} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} }$

This can simplify further by breaking apart the radical.

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{3} } = \frac{\sqrt{1} }{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

A radical cannot be left in the denominator, so rationalize it by multiplying by √3 to numerator and denominator.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } *\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$
