| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{4}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{4} = 8 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 3 \sqrt{4} } \cdot \sqrt{4} = 12 $$ |
| ③ | Divide numerator and denominator by $ \color{blue}{ 4 } $. |
