Answer:

(5√12)/12

Explanation:

In general, 1/√a can be rationalized as (√a)/a. That is the denominator can be multiplied by the square root of the same number to rationalize it. The numerator needs to be multiplied by the same square root.


(5)/(√(12))=(5)/(√(12))\cdot(√(12))/(√(12))=\boxed{(5√(12))/(12)}
