Calculating Square Root of Mixed Fraction

To find the square root of the mixed fraction $5\frac{44}{49}$, follow these steps:

  1. Convert to Improper Fraction:

    First, convert the mixed fraction $5\frac{44}{49}$ into an improper fraction.

    $5\frac{44}{49} = \frac{(5 \times 49) + 44}{49} = \frac{245 + 44}{49} = \frac{289}{49}$

  2. Find the Square Root:

    Now, calculate the square root of the improper fraction obtained.

    $\sqrt{5\frac{44}{49}} = \sqrt{\frac{289}{49}}$

  3. Simplify the Square Root:

    The square root of a fraction is the square root of the numerator divided by the square root of the denominator.

    $\sqrt{\frac{289}{49}} = \frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{49}}$

    We know that $17 \times 17 = 289$ and $7 \times 7 = 49$. Therefore,

    $\frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{17}{7}$

The square root of $5\frac{44}{49}$ is $\frac{17}{7}$.
