$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $sqrt2/2$ . See details below

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1 \cdot \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $1/sqrt2=(1·sqrt2)/(sqrt2·sqrt2)=sqrt2/2$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $sqrt2/2$

Assuming you want to rationalise the denominator: we multiply by the root:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $1/sqrt2$

$\to \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \to \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $-> 1/sqrt2 xx sqrt2/sqrt2 -> sqrt2/2$
