How do you divide #(2sqrt2)/(2sqrt5)#?

Answer 1

You can cancel the 2's and write the answer as #\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{5}#. You can also then rationalize the denominator and write it as #\sqrt{10}/5#. One other way to write the answer is #\sqrt{2/5}=\sqrt{0.4}#.

To divide (2√2)/(2√5), you can simplify the expression by canceling out the common factors in the numerator and denominator. In this case, the common factor is 2. Dividing 2√2 by 2 gives √2, and dividing 2√5 by 2 gives √5. Therefore, the simplified form of (2√2)/(2√5) is √2/√5.
