Method 1 - Making the radical include both the numerator and denominator rather than two separate square roots

#sqrt50/sqrt2#

#=sqrt(50/2)#

#=sqrt25#

#=5#

Method 2 - Simplifying the radical in the numerator then simplifying the overall fraction

#sqrt50/sqrt2#

#=sqrt(25*2)/sqrt2#

#=(5color(red)(sqrt2))/color(red)(sqrt2)#

#=5#
