%281%2F2%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29%29 = 1%2F2 รท sqrt%283%29 = %281%2F2%29%2A%281%2F%28sqrt%283%29%29%29+=+1%2F%282%2Asqrt%283%29%29

If you use a calculator then you should get this approximation
1%2F%282%2Asqrt%283%29%29=0.288675

If you want to rationalize the denominator, then multiply top and bottom by sqrt%283%29 to make the square root in the denominator go away.
