Question

Simplify the expression below: \sqrt[]{ \frac{8}{50} } simplifies to \frac{a}{b} Our value for a is AnswerOur value for b is

Answer 1

Notice that:

`(8)/(50)=(4)/(25)=(2^2)/(5^2)=((2)/(5))^2\text{.}`

Therefore:

`\sqrt[]{(8)/(50)}=\sqrt[]{((2)/(5))^2}=(2)/(5).`

Answer:

Our value for a is 2.

Our value for b is 5.
