Completely simplify and rationalize the denominator:$$\frac{\sqrt{160}}{\sqrt{252}}\times\frac{\sqrt{245}}{\sqrt{3}}$$

(sqrt(29635200))/756 Then just simplify the square root

The method hipie gave is also possible, but it is tedious. Instead, we could simplify the square roots on their own first.

 

\(\quad \dfrac{\sqrt{160}}{\sqrt{252}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{245}}{\sqrt 3}\\ =\dfrac{4 \sqrt{10}}{6 \sqrt 7} \times \dfrac{7 \sqrt 5}{\sqrt 3}\\ = \dfrac{4\times 7}{6} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{10 \times 5}{7 \times 3}}\\ = \dfrac{4\times 7 \times \sqrt{10 \times 5 \times 7 \times 3}}{6\times 7 \times 3}\\ = \dfrac{2\sqrt{1050}}{9}\\ = \dfrac{10 \sqrt{42}}{9}\)
