Simplify \(\frac{20}{5\sqrt{28} - 2 \sqrt{63}}\)

  • A. \(\frac{5\sqrt{7}}{7}\)
  • B. \(\frac{5\sqrt{5}}{7}\)
  • C. \(\frac{7\sqrt{5}}{7}\)
  • D. \(\frac{7\sqrt{7}}{5}\)

Correct Answer: A. \(\frac{5\sqrt{7}}{7}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{20}{5 \sqrt{4 \times 7} - 2\sqrt{9 \times 7}}\)

\(\frac{20}{10 \sqrt{7} - 6\sqrt{7}}\)

= \(\frac{20 \sqrt{7}}{4 \sqrt{7}}\)

= \(\frac{5\sqrt{7}}{7}\)
