① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{49}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{49} = 7 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{49} } \cdot \sqrt{49} = 49 $$ |
③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 7. |
