Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:09 Let's solve this problem together.
00:12 First, break down 35, into factors of 7, and 5.
00:19 When you see a multiplication under a root, remember, you can factor it with the root.
00:32 Next, reduce wherever possible, to simplify.
00:41 Now, combine everything under one root for multiplication.
00:46 Calculate the multiplication carefully.
00:49 Factor 100, into 10, squared.
00:54 Notice how the root cancels the square.
00:58 And that's how we find the solution! Great job!

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's begin the solution by applying the product property of square roots:

Combine the square roots in the numerator:

3520=3520\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{35 \cdot 20}

Calculate 3520=70035 \cdot 20 = 700, so:

3520=700\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{700}

Now, divide this square root by the square root in the denominator using the quotient property:

7007=7007\frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}} = \sqrt{\frac{700}{7}}

Simplify the fraction inside the square root:

7007=100\frac{700}{7} = 100

Thus, the expression becomes:

100=10\sqrt{100} = 10

Therefore, the solution to the expression 35207\frac{\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{7}} is 1010.

The correct answer choice is:

10 10

Answer

10 10
