| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{10}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{10} = 25 \sqrt{2} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{10} } \cdot \sqrt{10} = 40 $$ |
| ③ | Divide numerator and denominator by $ \color{blue}{ 5 } $. |
