Ignore the biggest square root till the end

 

Simplify each term on the numerator separately like this.

 

\(\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{16*5}}=\frac{5}{4\sqrt{5}}\)

 

etc

 

Now you need to rationalize the denominator so multiply every term, top and bottom by   sqrt5

 

Keep going from there.   It all falls out quite nicely.

OR alternatively ....

 

rationalize the denominator first by multiplying top and bottom by sqrt5

 

\(\sqrt{\frac{\frac{5}{\sqrt{80}}*\sqrt5+\frac{\sqrt{845}}{9}*\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{45}*\sqrt5}{\sqrt5*\sqrt5}}\\ \sqrt{\frac{\frac{5}{\sqrt{16}}+\frac{\sqrt{5*169}}{9}*\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{5*9}*\sqrt5}{5}}\\\)

 

etc
