$= \sqrt{3}$ $=sqrt3$

$\sqrt{12}$ $sqrt12$ can be simplified by prime factorisation:

$\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} = 2 \sqrt{3}$ $sqrt12= sqrt (2*2*3) = 2sqrt3$

So the expression $\frac{\sqrt{12}}{2}$ $sqrt12/2$ becomes:
$\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{2}$ $(2sqrt3)/2$

$= (cancel2sqrt3)/cancel2$

$=sqrt3$
