| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{72}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{12} } \cdot \sqrt{72} = 12 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{72} } \cdot \sqrt{72} = 72 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 12. |
