Questions: Simplify the expression (sqrt(4))/(sqrt(16))
Transcript text: Simplify the expression $\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}}$
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the expression \(\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}}\), we can first calculate the square roots of the numbers in the numerator and the denominator separately. Then, we divide the result of the square root of the numerator by the result of the square root of the denominator.
Step 1: Calculate the Square Roots
First, we calculate the square roots of the numbers in the expression:
\[
\sqrt{4} = 2
\]
\[
\sqrt{16} = 4
\]
Step 2: Divide the Results
Next, we divide the result of the square root of the numerator by the result of the square root of the denominator:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}} = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5
\]
