ANSWER

[tex]\sqrt{5} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given radical expression is

[tex]5 \div \sqrt{5} [/tex]

This can be rewritten as

[tex] \frac{5}{ \sqrt{5} } [/tex]

We rationalize the denominator to get:

[tex]\frac{5}{ \sqrt{5} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ \sqrt{5} } [/tex]

Recall that

[tex] \sqrt{x} \times \sqrt{x} = x[/tex]

This implies that,

[tex] \frac{5 \sqrt{5} }{5} [/tex]

Cancel out the common factors to get,

[tex] \sqrt{5} [/tex]
