#3*sqrt6#

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the "big" fraction by #2# so you get rid of the denominators of the "small" fractions.

#(sqrt2*9)/sqrt3#

We know #9=3*3=sqrt3*sqrt3*sqrt3*sqrt3# so a pair of #sqrt3# terms cancels out from the fraction.

#sqrt2*sqrt3*sqrt3*sqrt3#

#=3*sqrt2*sqrt3#

#=3*sqrt(2*3)=3*sqrt6#

Because #sqrta*sqrtb=sqrt(ab)# if #a,b >=0#.
