What is the value of \(\sqrt{225} \div \sqrt{9}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 5
Since \(225=15^2\) and \(9=3^2\), we have \(\sqrt{225}=15\) and \(\sqrt{9}=3\). Therefore, \(15\div3=5\), so option C is correct. Options B and D result from an incorrect division calculation. In an exam, evaluate both square roots first and then divide.
