Step 1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$1 \frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}}$

Step 3

Multiply $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}$ .

$\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}$

Step 4

Combine and simplify the denominator.

Multiply $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5} \sqrt{5}}$

Move $\sqrt{5}$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 (\sqrt{5} \sqrt{5})}$

Raise $\sqrt{5}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 ({\sqrt{5}}^{1} \sqrt{5})}$

Raise $\sqrt{5}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 ({\sqrt{5}}^{1} {\sqrt{5}}^{1})}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 {\sqrt{5}}^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 {\sqrt{5}}^{2}}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{5}}^{2}$ as $5$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{5}$ as $5^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 {(5^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 \cdot 5^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{5 \sqrt{5}}{2 \cdot 5^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
