1. The problem is to simplify the expression $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{1}}$. 2. Recall the property of square roots: $\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$. 3. Apply this property: $$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{1}} = \sqrt{\frac{5}{1}}$$ 4. Simplify the fraction inside the square root: $$\sqrt{\frac{5}{1}} = \sqrt{5}$$ 5. Since $\sqrt{1} = 1$, the original expression simplifies directly to $\sqrt{5}$. Final answer: $\sqrt{5}$
