You use the fact that the fraction of two square root is the square root of the fraction, i.e.: $\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$ $\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}=\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$ . So, in your case, you have
$\frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{24}} = \sqrt{\frac{8}{24}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$ $\frac{\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{24}}=\sqrt{\frac{8}{24}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

If you want to write it in a different form, divide and multiply by $\sqrt{3}$ $sqrt(3)$ to get $\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ $\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{\sqrt(3)}{3}$
