Completely simplify and rationalize the denominator: $$\frac{\sqrt{160}}{\sqrt{252}}\times\frac{\sqrt{245}}{\sqrt{360}}$$

Hint:  

Think about 160,  an obvious square number that goes into 160 is 16.  So you can do this.

 

\(\sqrt{160}=\sqrt{16*10}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{10}=4\sqrt{10}\)

 

Now simplify all the other squareroots yourself and then get back to us.

Hi Melody,

 

\( \sqrt{160}=\sqrt{16*10}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{10}=4\sqrt{10}\)

\(\sqrt{245}=\sqrt{49*5}=\sqrt{49}*\sqrt{5}=7\sqrt{5}\)

\(\sqrt{252}=\sqrt{36*7}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{7}=6\sqrt{7}\)

\(\sqrt{360}=\sqrt{36*10}=\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{10}=6\sqrt{10}\)

 

Now Guest can do it from here.

 

Hope that was helpful.^^
