#### Solution

We know that rationalization factor of the denominator is sqrt3. We will multiply numerator and denominator of the given expression 2/sqrt3 by sqrt3 to get

2/sqrt3 xx sqrt3/sqrt3 = (2 xx sqrt3)/(sqrt3 xx sqrt3)

= (2sqrt3)/3

= (2 xx 1.732)/3

= 3.4641/3

= 1.1547

The value of expression 1.1547 can be round off to three decimal places as 1.155
