① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 6 \sqrt{20} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 60 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 10 $$ |
③ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 10 } $. |
④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
