Answer

$\frac{n\sqrt {3m}}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt {\frac{5m^4n^6}{15m^3n^4}}$ Simplify. $=\sqrt {\frac{m^4n^6}{3m^3n^4}}$ Use the quotient rule and rewrite as the quotient of radicals. $=\frac{\sqrt {m^4n^6}}{\sqrt {3m^3n^4}}$ Divide factors in the radicand. Subtract exponents on common bases. $=\frac{\sqrt {m^{4-3}n^{6-4}}}{\sqrt {3}}$ Simplify. $=\frac{\sqrt {mn^2}}{\sqrt {3}}$ Multiply the numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{3}$. $=\frac{\sqrt {mn^2}}{\sqrt {3}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt {3}}{\sqrt {3}}$ Multiply. $=\frac{\sqrt {mn^2\cdot 3}}{\sqrt {(3)^2}}$ Simplify. $=\frac{\sqrt {3n^2m}}{3}$. $=\frac{n\sqrt {3m}}{3}$.
