Ok well this is the question. SQRT3/2 / 1/2 Its on of those fractions stacked onto another fraction questions, except with the first fraction having a radical in the numerator. I ended up getting SQRT3 + 4/2. Is this right?
A radical/fraction question is a mathematical question that involves using radicals (square roots, cube roots, etc.) and/or fractions to solve for an unknown variable.
To simplify radicals, you must find the largest perfect square that is a factor of the number inside the radical. Then, you can rewrite the radical using the perfect square as the coefficient and the remaining number inside the radical. Continue simplifying until no further simplification can be done.
To add or subtract fractions, you must first find a common denominator. This is the lowest number that both denominators can divide into evenly. Once you have a common denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator the same.
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators together. To divide fractions, you must flip the second fraction (the divisor) upside down and then follow the same steps as multiplying.
To solve a radical/fraction equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation. This may involve simplifying radicals and fractions and using inverse operations (such as squaring or taking the reciprocal) to isolate the variable. Finally, check your solution by plugging it back into the original equation.
