Answer: Below

Explanation:

So let's actually make a readable expression first.


(8√(3) )/(√(5) )

We first want to rationalize denominators (turning the denominator into an integer),so multiply both the numerator and denominator by sqrt(5). This method is called the big one, and doesn't change an expression since sqrt(5)/sqrt(5) = 1.


(8√(3) )/(√(5) ) * (√(5) )/(√(5) ) = (8√(3)√(5) )/(5) = (8√(15) )/(5 )

This is our simplified equation.
