the square root of 11 all over 5 square root of 132.
:
Multiply by the denominator radical over itself (same as multiplying by 1)
Then seek out perfect squares inside the radical, cancel
sqrt%2811%29%2F%285sqrt%28132%29%29 * sqrt%28132%29%2F%28sqrt%28132%29%29 = sqrt%28132%2A11%29%2F%285%2A132%29 = sqrt%281452%29%2F%28660%29 = 2%2Asqrt%28363%29%2F%28660%29 = sqrt%28363%29%2F%28330%29 = 11sqrt%283%29%2F330 = sqrt%283%29%2F30
