square root of 3 over square root of 2 + square root of 2 over square root of 3; I think the answer would be 5/6 but I'm not sure!

Use more parentheses.

Do you mean this: $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}$

Do you mean this: $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}}$

Do you mean this: $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}}}$

Learning to communicate IS part of the process. Good first try, now let's see if we can't step it up a bit.

Doesn't $\displaystyle \sqrt2 \cdot \sqrt3 = \sqrt6$ ?
