Solution
The value of `(sqrt(32) + sqrt(48))/(sqrt(8) + sqrt(12))` is equal to 2.
Explanation:
`(sqrt(32) + sqrt(48))/(sqrt(8) + sqrt(12)) = (sqrt(16 xx 2) + sqrt(16 xx 3))/(sqrt(4 xx 2) + sqrt(4 xx 3))`
= `(4sqrt(2) + 4sqrt(3))/(2sqrt(2) + 2sqrt(3))`
= `(4(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3)))/(2(sqrt(2) + sqrt(3))`
= 2
