| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{8}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{14} } \cdot \sqrt{8} = 20 \sqrt{7} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 7 \sqrt{8} } \cdot \sqrt{8} = 56 $$ |
| ③ | Divide numerator and denominator by $ \color{blue}{ 4 } $. |
