When you are dividing a fraction within a fraction and you use the recipricol to multiply, for this question it is (5/7)/(2√6/7) how would you multiply the square root?
--------
If the 6/7 fraction is in the radical it equalt sqrt(42)/7.
-----
Your Problem:
(5/7)/(2sqrt(42)/7)
----
Inverting the denominator results in canceling the common 7's.
---
You get: = 5/(2sqrt(42))
Simplifying that you get:
= (5sqrt(42)/2*42)
----
= (5sqrt(42)/84
----
= (5/84)sqrt(42)
