Question

How do you find the square root of a fraction? For example: what’s the square root of 115/100

Answer 1

Answer:

Take the square roots of the numerator and denominator separately.

Explanation:

$y = \sqrt{\frac{115 }{100}}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt{115} }{10}$

===============

If your instructor wants a decimal answer, take the square root of the numerator.

$\frac{\sqrt{115} }{10} = \frac{10.72}{10}$

$\frac{\sqrt{115} }{10}$ = 1.072
