Question 82725: This problem is not from a textbook.
I apologize for writing this all out in words. I don't know how to get the radical sign to appear here. ( I will try to also put this in symbol form by using a capital 'V' to stand for the radical)
3 times the square root of 5/12 plus the square root of 12/5 - 1/3 times the square root of 60.
3 V5/12 + V12/5 - 1/3 V60

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3sqrt5/12+sqrt12/5-1/3sqrt60
3sqrt5/12+sqrt12/5-1/3*2sqrt15
3sqrt5/12+sqrt12/5-2/3sqrt15 this is all the reductions.

if you need to solve the radicals then:
3*.6455+1.549-2.582
1.9365+1.549-2.2582=1.2273 answer.
