| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{24}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{16} } \cdot \sqrt{24} = 8 \sqrt{6} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{24} } \cdot \sqrt{24} = 24 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 8. |
