See a solution process below:

Use this rule for radicals to simplify the expression:

$sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))$

$sqrt(color(red)(7/2)) * sqrt(color(blue)(5/3)) = sqrt(color(red)(7/2) * color(blue)(5/3)) = sqrt(35/6)$

Or, we can the use this rule of radicals to rewrite the expression:

$sqrt(color(red)(a)/color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a))/sqrt(color(blue)(b))$

$sqrt(color(red)(35)/color(blue)(6)) = sqrt(color(red)(35))/sqrt(color(blue)(6))$

If necessary, we can rationalize the denominator using the following process:

$sqrt(6)/sqrt(6) * sqrt(color(red)(35))/sqrt(color(blue)(6)) =>$

$(sqrt(6) * sqrt(color(red)(35)))/(sqrt(6) * sqrt(color(blue)(6)) =>$

$(sqrt(6 * color(red)(35)))/6 =>$

$sqrt(210)/6$
