What is the following quotient? 3 sqrt 8 / 4 sqrt 6
A. 12 sqrt 2-6 sqrt 3 / 5
B.3 sqrt 6 -4 sqrt 3 / 24
C.sqrt 3/12
D.sqrt 3/2

Respuesta :

For this case we have the following expression:
 3sqrt (8) / 4sqrt (6)
 Rewriting we have:
 3sqrt (2 * 4) / 4sqrt (6)
 3 * 2sqrt (2) / 4sqrt (6)
 6sqrt (2) / 4sqrt (6)
 3sqrt (2) / 2sqrt (6)
 3sqrt (2) / (2sqrt (2) sqrt (3))
 3 / (2sqrt (3))
 3sqrt (3) / (3 * 2)
 sqrt (3) / (2)
 Answer:
 
the following quotient is:
 D.sqrt 3/2

Answer:

The correct option is D) [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out the quotient of  [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{8}}{4\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{8}}{4\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

Rewrite the above expression;

[tex]=\frac{3\times2 \sqrt{2}}{4\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{4\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

Cancel out the common term from numerator and denominator,

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{6}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Multiply numerator and denominator with [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\times 3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D) [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]
