Evaluate square root of 32/50

$\sqrt{\frac{32}{50}}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $32$ and $50$ .

Factor $2$ out of $32$ .

$\sqrt{\frac{2 (16)}{50}}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $50$ .

$\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 16}{2 \cdot 25}}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 16}{2 \cdot 25}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$

Step 2

Rewrite $\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$ as $\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}$

Step 3
