The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \sqrt{\frac{2\frac{1}{3} - 1\frac{1}{6}}{2\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{1}{6}}} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers \( 2\frac{1}{3} \) and \( 1\frac{1}{6} \) into improper fractions. - For \( 2\frac{1}{3} \): \[ 2\frac{1}{3} = 2 \times 3 + 1 = 6 + 1 = \frac{7}{3} \] - For \( 1\frac{1}{6} \): \[ 1\frac{1}{6} = 1 \times 6 + 1 = 6 + 1 = \frac{7}{6} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the Improper Fractions into the Expression Now substitute these values back into the expression: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\frac{7}{3} - \frac{7}{6}}{\frac{7}{3} + \frac{7}{6}}} \] ### Step 3: Find a Common Denominator To perform the subtraction and addition in the numerator and denominator, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6. - For the numerator: \[ \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{14}{6} \] So, \[ \frac{7}{3} - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14}{6} - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14 - 7}{6} = \frac{7}{6} \] - For the denominator: \[ \frac{7}{3} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14}{6} + \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14 + 7}{6} = \frac{21}{6} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Expression Now substitute the results back into the expression: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\frac{7}{6}}{\frac{21}{6}}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Fraction When dividing fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal: \[ \frac{\frac{7}{6}}{\frac{21}{6}} = \frac{7}{6} \times \frac{6}{21} = \frac{7}{21} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 6: Take the Square Root Now we take the square root of the simplified expression: \[ \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the original expression is: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \]
