Simplify the square root of two thirds and the square root of three fourths.

Step 1. The idea is to get rid of the radical in the denominator by multiplying by the radical itself as follows



where we multiplied by 1=sqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29 in the above equation.

Step 2. Simplify the denominator for sqrt%283%2F4%29=sqrt%283%29%2F2 where

sqrt%284%29=sqrt%282%5E2%29=2

I hope the above steps were helpful.
