Simplifying Square Roots Name__________________________________

Date__________________ Class ___________

1) Which is correct?   7 ⋅ 4 = 7 4 or 2 7

2) Simplify the following.  (Do that by inspecting each radicand for a square factor:  4, 9, 16, 25, and so
on.)
a)     28 =

b)   50 =

c)     45 =

d)     98 =
Note: the square root of 9 is 3 and the square root of 2 is
e)     48 = irrational and can not be simplified any further.
f)     300 =

g)   150 =

h)   80 =

i) 125 =

3) Reduce to lowest terms.

b) 4 75 − 2 147 + 3 =

c) 3 28 + 88 − 2 112 =

d) 3 + 24 + 54 =

e) 1− 128 + 18 =

5) Simplify the following. (Hint: Use the Distributive Property to divide each term in the numerator by
the denominator (or a common factor of the denominator).)
