The square root of 10 divided by 2 is the correct answer.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Rationalize the denominator. That means you multiply √10 on both the numerator and denominator of the question.


(5)/(√(10) ) * ( √(10) )/(√(10) )

The result is


(5 √(10) )/(10)

Notice that the 5 in the numerator, partially cancels out with the 10 in the denominator.

The answer is
( √(10) )/(2)
