See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can rewrite this expression as:

#5 xx 3 xx 5 xx sqrt(12) xx sqrt(18) xx sqrt(30) =>#

#15 xx 5 xx sqrt(12) xx sqrt(18) xx sqrt(30) =>#

#75 xx sqrt(12) xx sqrt(18) xx sqrt(30)#

We can now use this rule for radicals to multiply the radicals:

#sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))#

#75 xx sqrt(color(red)(12)) xx sqrt(color(blue)(18)) xx sqrt(color(green)(30)) =>#

#75 xx sqrt(color(red)(12) xx color(blue)(18) xx color(green)(30)) =>#

#75 xx sqrt(216 xx color(green)(30)) =>#

#75 xx sqrt(6480)#

We can rewrite this expression as:

#75 xx sqrt(16 xx 81 xx 5)#

Now, we can use the reverse of the rule above to simplify the radical:

#75 xx sqrt(color(red)(16) xx color(blue)(81) xx color(green)(5)) =>#

#75 xx sqrt(color(red)(16)) xx sqrt(color(blue)(81)) xx sqrt(color(green)(5)) =>#

#75 xx 4 xx 9 xx sqrt(5) =>#

#300 xx 9 xx sqrt(5) =>#

#2700 xx sqrt(5) =>#

#2700sqrt(5)#
