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

2. anonymous

Yes I wasn't sure I was writing it correctly

3. Nnesha

can you cancel out anything ?

4. anonymous

I would say the 7's

5. Nnesha

yes right sqrt{7 } that's it

6. anonymous

Ok so would that be 7 1/15?

7. Nnesha

hmm how ? how did you get 15

8. anonymous

No I mean 7 1/5

9. anonymous

Hi Nnesha was my answer correct?

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😀
