ok so theres the square root of 3 divided by the square root of forty-eight
im stuck on how you can do the equation without using a calculator and getting a decimal. dot you have to ge a perfect square and an imperfect sqare :?:
 
\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{48}}=\frac{sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{16\cdot{3}}}=\frac{sqrt{3}}{4\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{4}\)
