Question 1037462: Simplify: 3 sqrt 75 ÷ sqrt 27

Here's how I tried to solve it:
3 sqrt 75 ÷ sqrt 27
3 sqrt 25*3 ÷ sqrt 9*3
3*5 sqrt 3 ÷ 3 sqrt 3
15 sqrt 3 ÷ 3 sqrt 3 I then cancel out the 3 radicals to get:
15/3
15/3= 5 (the answer I thought was correct)
I check the answer key,

the correct answer is 25/3.
I'm having trouble figuring out how that could be the answer. I feel like I probably went wrong when I cancelled the radicals.
