without using a calculator, I know how to do the numerator it gives me 120 000, but the denominator its hard any tips? I can't squaroot 6.4...

  1. 6.4 * 10^3 = 64 * 10^2

    the 1/2 power is the same as a square root

    sqrt(64) = 8

    sqrt(10^2) = 10

    sqrt(64 * 10^2) = 80

    the denominator simplifies to 80...

    the numerator simplifies to 12 * 10^4 = 120,000

    120,000 / 80 = 12000/8 = 1500 = 1.5 * 10^3


  2. you don't know what times what is 64?  it's 8
