Answer: B.

Explanation:

You can rationalize a denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the radical in the denominator. In this case, it is the square root of 6.


(√(3)*√(6) )/(3√(6)*√(6) )

The square root of 6 multiplied by the square root of 6 is equal to 6, so you can simplify the equation to this:


(√(3) *√(6) )/(18)

You can multiply simplified radicals together. First, check that 3 and 6 are simplified (their multiples do not include squares. If 8 was in one of the radicals, it could be simplified to 2*square root of 2.)


√(3 ) *√(6) = √(18)

Because 18 can be simplified to 9 * 2, and 9 is a square of 3, you can simplify this to
3√(2).


(3√(2) )/(18) , or (√(2) )/(6)
