Divide the radicals 6 radical 24 over 12 radical 32? so far ive taken the radical out of the denominator and simplified 6 & 12 to 3. not sure im on the right track
 
I will step through this one for you. Then, you'll have an example to go by when trying others like this. OK?.

\(\displaystyle \frac{6\sqrt{24}}{12\sqrt{32}}=\frac{\sqrt{24}}{2\sqrt{32}}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{24}{32}}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
