The fraction must be rationalized. Since it is the square root of x in the denominator, you are going to multiply the numerator and denominator by the square root of x.

For simplicity of the problem, root will take the place of the symbol for square root:

root(3y)/root(x)

root(3y)*root(x)/root(x)*root(x)

root(3xy)/x

The simplified answer is going to be the square root of 3xy divided by x.

Hope that helped.
