| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{55} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5 \sqrt{11} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 5. |
