10/5√5 .... I know the answer is 2√5/5 but cannot figure out how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply and divide by \(\sqrt{5}\): \[\frac{10}{5 \sqrt{5}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} \implies \frac{10 \sqrt{5}}{5 \times 5} \implies \frac{\cancel{10}^{2}\sqrt{5}}{\cancel{5} \times 5} \implies \frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{5}\]
