| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{10} } \cdot \sqrt{10} = 50 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{10} } \cdot \sqrt{10} = 20 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 10 } $. |
