To rationalize the denominator of this expression you need to multiply by

• $\frac{4}{4}$

• $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

• $\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}$

• $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$

Rationalize the denominator:
 $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{3}}$  

•  $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{6}$  

•  $\frac{\sqrt{15}}{18}$  

•  $\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{6}$  

•  $\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{18}$
