Express in simpliest radical form
sqrt 3/5 I get sqrt 15/25 simplest radical form
3 sqrt 13/3 I went 3 X sqrt 13 ove sqrt 3 + 3 X 3.61 over 1.74 + 8.83 simplest radical form This question is from textbook Algebra Structure and Method

whenever a radical is in denominator, it is cleared by multiplying num and dem by that radical. Remember sqrt(a) *sqrt(a) =(a)
.
sqrt(3/5) = sqrt3/sqrt5= {sqrt3*sqrt5} / {sqrt5*sqrt5} = sqrt(15)/5
.
.
3sqrt(13/3) ={3*sqrt(13)} / sqrt(3)= {3*sqrt13*sqrt3}/sqrt(3)*sqrt(3)={3*sqrt(39)}/3 =sqrt(39)
