Step-by-Step Solution

Let's begin the solution by applying the product property of square roots:

Combine the square roots in the numerator:

3520=3520\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{35 \cdot 20}

Calculate 3520=70035 \cdot 20 = 700, so:

3520=700\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{700}

Now, divide this square root by the square root in the denominator using the quotient property:

7007=7007\frac{\sqrt{700}}{\sqrt{7}} = \sqrt{\frac{700}{7}}

Simplify the fraction inside the square root:

7007=100\frac{700}{7} = 100

Thus, the expression becomes:

100=10\sqrt{100} = 10

Therefore, the solution to the expression 35207\frac{\sqrt{35} \cdot \sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{7}} is 1010.

The correct answer choice is:

10 10
