Answer

539\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{9}

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Simplify the square root inside the parentheses.

    4=2\sqrt{4} = 2

    Substitute this value back into the expression:

    2(26÷235)2\left(\frac{2}{6} \div \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}\right)
  2. Simplify the fraction 26\frac{2}{6} inside the parentheses.

    26=13\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

    The expression becomes:

    2(13÷235)2\left(\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}\right)
  3. Perform the division inside the parentheses.

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    13÷235=13×523=563\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5}{6\sqrt{3}}

    The expression is now:

    2(563)2\left(\frac{5}{6\sqrt{3}}\right)
  4. Multiply the result by 2.

    2×563=10632 \times \frac{5}{6\sqrt{3}} = \frac{10}{6\sqrt{3}}
  5. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

    1063=533\frac{10}{6\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5}{3\sqrt{3}}
  6. Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3\sqrt{3}.

    533×33=533×(3)2=533×3=539\frac{5}{3\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{3 \times (\sqrt{3})^2} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{3 \times 3} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{9}

    The simplified expression is 539\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{9}.
