| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{49}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{9} } \cdot \sqrt{49} = 21 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{49} } \cdot \sqrt{49} = 49 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 7 } $. |
