We first want to get that radical off the bottom. So, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by $sqrt(75a)$ .

$((5sqrt8)(sqrt(75a)))/(75a)$

$(5 sqrt(8 times 75 a))/(75a)$

$(5sqrt(600a))/(75a)$

$(50sqrt(6a))/(75a)$

$(2sqrt(6a))/(3a)$

Final Answer

How do you simplify (5sqrt(8))/ (sqrt(75a))(5sqrt(8))/ (sqrt(75a))?
