Answer

$\frac{\sqrt {21bc}}{3c}$

Work Step by Step

First, we want to cancel out what is common in both the numerator and the denominator: $\sqrt {\frac{7b}{3c}}$ Separate the radical: $\frac{\sqrt {7b}}{\sqrt {3c}}$ We need to get rid of the radical by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the radical in the denominator: $\frac{\sqrt {7b • 3c}}{\sqrt {3c • 3c}}$ Multiply what is under the radical sign: $\frac{\sqrt {21bc}}{\sqrt {9c^2}}$ Take the square root of the denominator: $\frac{\sqrt {21bc}}{3c}$
