Question 884650: Good afternoon,
I have one more equation that I just can't seem to get. Can someone please help me?
The equation is 2/(3 sqrt 5). I tried to simplify it, but I just confused myself even more. Anyways, the answer I got was 2(sqrt 5) / 15. I am not sure if this is correct. Please get back to me when you can. Thank you in advance.

That's not an equation.
I can tell, there's no equal sign.
--------
equal, equate, equation.

This is not an equation as it does not contain an equals sign. It is an expression, and I guess you'd like it

to be simplified.

2%2F%283sqrt%285%29%29

%282+%2A+sqrt%285%29%29%2F%283sqrt%285%29+%2A+sqrt%285%29%29 ------ Multiplying numerator and denominator by sqrt%285%29 in order to rationalize the denominator.

%282sqrt%285%29%29%2F%283+%2A+5%29

You are correct!! Good job!!
