Answer:

B)
(√(3) + √(6) )/(8)

Explanation:

The given expression is
((3 + √(18) )/(4√(12) )

We should not have the radical sign in the denominator. To get rid of the radical number, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4√12.

=
((3 + √(18) )/(4√(12) ) * (4√(12) )/(4√(12) )

=
(12√(12) + 4√(18) √(12)  )/(16*12)

=
(24√(3) + 24√(6)   )/(192)

=
(24(√(3)+√(6) ) )/(192) \\

Now we can cancel out 24/192, which is 1/8

=
(√(3)+√(6)  )/(8)

Answer is B.

Thank you.
