Re: So, does anyone know about rationalizing denominators?

Both are invalid for rationalizing a fraction.

You cannot have decimals in fractions. At least, not if you don't want to be yelled at.


Just to check, the formula is (5^(1/2))/25? If so, the denominator has already been rationalized. If you want to rationalize the numerator, that's a bit different.
