Simplify (1/2)/(( square root of 3)/2)

$\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

Step 1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step 4

Combine and simplify the denominator.

Multiply $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} \sqrt{3}}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} {\sqrt{3}}^{1}}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{2}}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{3}}^{2}$ as $3$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3}$ as $3^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{(3^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{1}}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Step 5

The result can be shown in multiple forms.
