Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given expression is $\sqrt { \frac { 169 } { 144 } }$. This can be simplified by taking the square root of the numerator and the denominator separately, resulting in $\frac { \sqrt { 169 } } { \sqrt { 144 } }$. Since $\sqrt { 169 } = 13$ and $\sqrt { 144 } = 12$, the simplified form is $\frac { 13 } { 12 }$.
