Answer:

  (2√(3m))/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the simplified form of ...

  [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{8m^2}}{\sqrt{6m}}[/tex]

Rules of radicals

The relevant rules of radicals are ...

  [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{b}}\\\\\sqrt{a^2b}=|a|\sqrt{b}[/tex]

Application

Applying these rules to the given expression, we can simplify it to ...

  [tex]\dfrac{\sqrt{8m^2}}{\sqrt{6m}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{8m^2}{6m}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{3}m}[/tex]

We want the denominator outside the radical. This is accomplished by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 3 to make the denominator a perfect square.

  [tex]=\sqrt{\dfrac{2^2\cdot3}{3^2}m}=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^23m}=\dfrac{2}{3}\sqrt{3m}=\boxed{\dfrac{2\sqrt{3m}}{3}}[/tex]
