Math Problem Statement

41234\frac{4\sqrt{12}}{3\sqrt4}

Solution

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

41234\frac{4\sqrt{12}}{3\sqrt{4}}

Step 1: Simplify the square roots

  1. 12\sqrt{12} can be simplified: 12=4×3=4×3=23\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3}

  2. 4=2\sqrt{4} = 2

Step 2: Substitute the simplified square roots into the expression

41234=4×233×2\frac{4\sqrt{12}}{3\sqrt{4}} = \frac{4 \times 2\sqrt{3}}{3 \times 2}

Step 3: Simplify further

=836= \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{6}

Step 4: Reduce the fraction

Both the numerator and the denominator have a common factor of 2: 836=433\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}

So, the simplified expression is: 433\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}
