Answer

$\sqrt2$

Work Step by Step

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt{2}$ to both the numerator and the denominator to have: $=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{8}} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \\=\dfrac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{16}} \\=\dfrac{4\sqrt2}{4}$ Cancel the common factor $4$ to have: $=\sqrt2$
