\[\large \frac{10}{\sqrt{5}}\neq \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\]
oh wait i get it, you just rationalise it
so there must be a typo somewhere
oh sorry i meant 2squareroot 5
\[\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}=\sqrt{\frac{10}{5}}\]

oh ok, yeah rationalize the denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt(5) to get your answer
\[\frac{10}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{10}{\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{10\sqrt{5}}{5}=2\sqrt{5}\]
thank you
