1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to rationalize the denominator of the fraction 15\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}.

2. Solution Steps

To rationalize the denominator, we need to eliminate the radical from the denominator. In this case, we have 5\sqrt{5} in the denominator. To get rid of the square root, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5\sqrt{5}.
15=1555 \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}
1555=5(5)2 \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{(\sqrt{5})^2}
5(5)2=55 \frac{\sqrt{5}}{(\sqrt{5})^2} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}
So the fraction with a rationalized denominator is 55\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}.

3. Final Answer

The rationalized form of 15\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} is 55\frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}.
