What is: 4+root(6)/ root(48)?

 

 

I got 4+3 root(2)/12

 

 

is that rite?

No. Tell us how you got that answer, and we can show you where you went wrong.

root(48) breaks down into 4rooot(3) and then u rationalize the denominator by multiplying root(3), so then a three falls out and u multiply the four by the three and u get 12 as the final denominator. u then multiply the numeratior by root 3, and u get 4+ root(18) ubut then u can then rationalize the numberator to 4+3 root(2)

You just forgot to multiply the 4 in the numerator by radical 3, as well as the radical 6.
