Im having a little problem with this maths question and i dont know what im doing wrong, so please help me out that would be great (noob year 9er)
simplify 3√24p²q x 5√32pq^5 (sorry dont have small number signs for everything)
these are the steps i performed
15√768p³q^6
and then
240√3p³q^6
now the answer says 240pq³√3p
but i am not sure how to get to that answer? please help me
also 1 more question
(express as an entire surd)
3a²b³√5ab
answer is √45a^5b^7
but i did:
square everything in 3a²b³
so it becomes 9a^4b^9 and then multiply it back under the rational sign so its
√45a^3b^10 but that is wrong :(
THANKS IN ADVANCE !! :)

1. For the first problem, you are doing OK.
240√[3p³q⁶] ← So far, so good ... Now, you know that √a² = a
240√[3p²p(q³)²] ← Rewrote the radicand to show p and q³ as squared
240pq³√[3p] ← Used the rule √a² = a to pull out p and q³
240pq³√(3p) ← ANSWER
2. 3a²b³√[5ab] ← 3 = √9 So, put 9 inside the radicand
a²b³√[9·5ab] ← a² = √a⁴ So, put a⁴ inside the radicand
b³√[45a⁴ab] ← b³ = √b⁶ So, put b⁶ inside the radicand
√[45a⁵b⁶b]
√[45a⁵b⁷] ← ANSWER
Hope that helps.
Have a good one!

"Their" answer makes sense only if the original statement is:
3√(24p²q) × 5√(32pq^5)
Then you get 15√(768p³q^6), then 240√(3p³q^6), then finally, 240pq³√(3p)
Gotta watch those parentheses!
You made two errors. First, the square of 3a²b³ is 9a^4b^6.
Second, when you multiplied back under the *radical* sign, you turned a^4 back into a².
3√(24p²q) × 5√(32pq^5)
