centimeters has smaller right triangles with side lengths of 5√3
centimeters along it. How many smaller lengths are running along the longer length?
**The operation would be a division of radicals, correct?*** I do not want the answer, just the operation. Thanks

Yes, the operation you would use to find out how many smaller lengths are running along the longer length is indeed a division of radicals. You would divide the length of the larger triangle (40√12 cm) by the length of the smaller triangle (5√3 cm).
The operation would be:
\[ \frac{40\sqrt{12}}{5\sqrt{3}} \]
Yes, that's correct! You can express it as:
\[ \frac{40 \sqrt{12}}{5 \sqrt{3}} \]
This represents the division of the larger length (40 radical 12) by the smaller length (5 radical 3). Thank you for the clarification!
