  6. 3 3 Method 1: Rewrite as a square root of a fraction. 3 5 = 5 5 Then make the denominator a perfect square. 3 • 5 5 • 5 = 15 52 = = 5 15 Multiplying and Dividing Radical Expressions ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 7-2 Rationalize the denominator of each expression. Assume that all variables are positive. a. 7-2

  7. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 5 so the denominator becomes a whole number. Method 2: = 3 3 5 5 3 • 5 5 • 5 = 5 15 Multiplying and Dividing Radical Expressions ALGEBRA 2 LESSON 7-2 (continued) a. 7-2
