① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 12 } \cdot \sqrt{3} = 12 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{3} } \cdot \sqrt{3} = 15 $$ |
③ | Divide numerator and denominator by $ \color{blue}{ 3 } $. |
