Math Problem Statement

Simplify the square root of 9/64.

Solution

The expression you are asked to simplify is:

964\sqrt{\frac{9}{64}}

We can simplify this by taking the square root of both the numerator and the denominator separately:

964=964=38\sqrt{\frac{9}{64}} = \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{3}{8}

Thus, the correct answer is:

38\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}

This corresponds to option e in the list.
