Answer

$2\sqrt[3]{25}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: For any real number $a$, $\sqrt[3]{a^3}= a$ Rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt[3]{5^2}$ to both the numerator and the denominator. Simplify using the rule above to obtain: $\require{cancel} =\dfrac{10 \cdot \sqrt[3]{5^2}}{\sqrt[3]{5} \cdot \sqrt[3]{5^2}} \\=\dfrac{10\sqrt[3]{25}}{\sqrt[3]{5^3}} \\=\dfrac{10\sqrt[3]{25}}{5} \\=\dfrac{2\cancel{10}\sqrt[3]{25}}{\cancel{5}} \\=2\sqrt[3]{25}$
