Which expression is equivalent to the radical expression shown below when it is simplified?

[tex]\[
\sqrt{\frac{3}{64}}
\][/tex]

A. \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{64}\)
B. \(\frac{3}{8}\)
C. \(\frac{3}{64}\)
D. [tex]\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To simplify the given radical expression \( \sqrt{\frac{3}{64}} \), we need to follow these steps:

1. Separate the Square Root:
The square root of a fraction can be written as the square root of the numerator over the square root of the denominator. Therefore,
[tex]\[ \sqrt{\frac{3}{64}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{64}} \][/tex]

2. Simplify the Denominator:
Find the square root of the denominator:
[tex]\[ \sqrt{64} = 8 \][/tex]

3. Write the Simplified Expression:
Now, substitute back the simplified square root of the denominator into the fraction:
[tex]\[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} \][/tex]

Therefore, the simplified form of the given radical expression \( \sqrt{\frac{3}{64}} \) is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\).

Thus, the correct answer is:
D. [tex]\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\)[/tex].
