How do you get 3/sqrt2 from 3sqrt2/2?

A square root is a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 25 is 5 because 5 x 5 = 25.
The most common method for finding the square root of a number is by using a calculator. However, you can also use a mathematical process called "long division" or an estimation method called "guess and check."
A perfect square is a number that has an integer as its square root, such as 25, 36, or 49. A non-perfect square is a number that does not have an integer as its square root, such as 20, 30, or 50.
Yes, fractions can have square roots. For example, the square root of 1/4 is 1/2, and the square root of 9/16 is 3/4.
To simplify a square root fraction, you need to find a perfect square that is a factor of both the numerator and the denominator. Then, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by that perfect square. For example, to simplify the fraction √12/√18, you can rewrite it as √(4x3)/√(9x2). Since 4 and 9 are both perfect squares, you can simplify further to get (√4x√3)/(√9x√2), which becomes 2√3/3√2.
