Answer

$$40\sqrt5$$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) For any real numbers $a \ge 0, b\ge0$, $\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b}$ (2) For any real numbers $a \ge 0, b\gt 0$, $\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{b}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}$ Note that $320=64(5)$. Thus, using rule (1) above gives: \begin{align*} 5\sqrt{320}&=5\sqrt{64(5)}\\ &=5\sqrt{64} \cdot \sqrt5\\ &=5(8)\sqrt5\\ &=40\sqrt5 \end{align*}
