Math Problem Statement

Solve

Solve \(\frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{18}}\)

Solution

The expression shown in the image is:

2418\frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{18}}

To simplify this, we can use the property of square roots:

ab=ab\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}

So, we have:

2418=2418=43=43=23\frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{18}} = \sqrt{\frac{24}{18}} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

Now, we can rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3\sqrt{3}:

23×33=233\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}

Thus, the simplified result is:

233\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}
