Simplify the expression.  Assume that all variables are positive

√x/5*√x/20

If %28sqrt%28x%29%2F5%29+%2A+%28sqrt%28x%29%2F20%29, then the answer is NOT 10x, as stated by the other person who responded.
%28sqrt%28x%29%2F5%29+%2A+%28sqrt%28x%29%2F20%29 = %28sqrt%28x%29+%2A+sqrt%28x%29%29%2F%285+%2A+20%29 = sqrt%28x+%2A+x%29%2F100 = sqrt%28x%5E2%29%2F100%29 = highlight%28x%2F100%29
