Answer

$\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{6}}$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}$ Rewrite this expression as $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}$: $\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}=...$ Multiply this expression by $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ and simplify if possible: $...=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3^{2}}}{\sqrt{6}}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{6}}$
