Could you please explain how the equation below is equal to  2√34 

(it is represented in a fraction form that is with the 10 as the numerator, and the other numbers (also as a fraction) as the denumerator)

\(10/ 5√34/34\)

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of that fraction.  So if we want to divide by \(\frac{5\sqrt{34}}{34}\)

that is the same as multiplying by \(\frac{34}{5\sqrt{34}}\)

 

Hence we have \(10\times \frac{34}{5\sqrt{34}}\rightarrow \frac{2\times34}{\sqrt{34}}\rightarrow2\times \sqrt{34}\)

10/5 sqrt(34)/34 could be written as

10/5 sqrt(34)/sqrt(34)*sqrt(34)

2/sqrt(34). Your answer of 2*sqrt(34) is not accurate. Check your book carefully.

It should be division NOT multiplication.
