Rationalize the denominator
6/ square root of 12
----------------------
Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(3) to get:
--------
[6sqrt(3)]/sqrt(36)
---
[6sqrt(3)]/6
---
= sqrt(3)

To rationalize the denominator of a fraction, we need to re-write the fraction so that our new fraction has the same value as the original, and has a rational denominator. The standard method of changing a fraction into an equivalent fraction with a specified denominator is to multiply it by some number over itself - often picking the number that is the irrational part of the denominator.
In this case, you want to multiply the original fraction by (sqrt(12))/((sqrt(12)).
So:
(6/(sqrt(12))*(((sqrt(12))/((sqrt(12)))
(6*(sqrt(12))/12
This is your answer because the denominator is now rationalized.
