Math Problem Statement

Bentuk sederhana dari \( \frac{8}{3\sqrt{12}} \) adalah ....

Solution

The problem is asking to simplify the expression:

8312\frac{8}{3 \sqrt{12}}

Let's go step by step:

  1. Simplify the square root of 12: 12=4×3=4×3=23\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3}

  2. Substitute this back into the expression: 8312=83×23=863=433\frac{8}{3 \sqrt{12}} = \frac{8}{3 \times 2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8}{6\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}}

  3. Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3\sqrt{3}: 433×33=433×3=439\frac{4}{3\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3 \times 3} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{9}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is:

439\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{9}
