Math Problem Statement

Simplify the given square root expressions involving fractions, decimals, and mixed numbers.

Solution

Let's solve each problem step by step:


1. 2581\sqrt{\frac{25}{81}}

  • The square root of a fraction can be split: 2581=2581\sqrt{\frac{25}{81}} = \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{81}}
  • 25=5\sqrt{25} = 5 and 81=9\sqrt{81} = 9, so: 59\frac{5}{9}

Answer: 59\frac{5}{9}.


3. 0.494\sqrt{\frac{0.49}{4}}

  • Split the square root: 0.494=0.494\sqrt{\frac{0.49}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{0.49}}{\sqrt{4}}
  • 0.49=0.7\sqrt{0.49} = 0.7 (since 0.7×0.7=0.490.7 \times 0.7 = 0.49) and 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2: 0.72\frac{0.7}{2}

Answer: 0.350.35.


5. 279\sqrt{2 \frac{7}{9}}

  • Convert the mixed number 2792 \frac{7}{9} into an improper fraction: 279=2592 \frac{7}{9} = \frac{25}{9}
  • Now take the square root: 259=259=53\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{5}{3}

Answer: 53\frac{5}{3}.


7. 1169251\sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{9}{25}}{1}}

  • Multiply the fractions in the numerator: 116925=191625=9400\frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{9}{25} = \frac{1 \cdot 9}{16 \cdot 25} = \frac{9}{400}
  • Take the square root: 9400=9400=320\sqrt{\frac{9}{400}} = \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{400}} = \frac{3}{20}

Answer: 320\frac{3}{20}.


9. 0.25499\sqrt{\frac{0.25 \cdot 49}{9}}

  • Multiply the numbers in the numerator: 0.2549=12.250.25 \cdot 49 = 12.25
  • Now the square root becomes: 12.259=12.259\sqrt{\frac{12.25}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{12.25}}{\sqrt{9}}
  • 12.25=3.5\sqrt{12.25} = 3.5 and 9=3\sqrt{9} = 3: 3.53=1.1667(or76)\frac{3.5}{3} = 1.1667 \quad (\text{or} \, \frac{7}{6})

Answer: 76\frac{7}{6}.


11. 2141169161100\sqrt{2 \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{9}{16} \cdot \frac{1}{100}}

  1. Convert 2142 \frac{1}{4} into an improper fraction: 214=942 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}
  2. Multiply all the fractions: 941169161100\frac{9}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{9}{16} \cdot \frac{1}{100}
    • Multiply numerators: 9191=819 \cdot 1 \cdot 9 \cdot 1 = 81
    • Multiply denominators: 41616100=1024004 \cdot 16 \cdot 16 \cdot 100 = 102400 81102400\frac{81}{102400}
  3. Take the square root: 81102400=81102400=9320\sqrt{\frac{81}{102400}} = \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{102400}} = \frac{9}{320}

Answer: 9320\frac{9}{320}.


Summary of Answers:

  1. 59\frac{5}{9}
  2. 0.350.35
  3. 53\frac{5}{3}
  4. 320\frac{3}{20}
  5. 76\frac{7}{6}
  6. 9320\frac{9}{320}
