7/4

Explanation:

To start, you want to get rid of both square roots.
To do this you want to multiply root2(3) to the nominator and the denominator of the equation.
(1+2root2(3) times root2(3))/(1+root2(3) times root2(3))
Doing this will cancel out the roots and make the root2(3) become a 3.
(1+2 times 3)/(1+3)
From this point on you just follow BEDMAS and solve the equation.
7/4
All done!
