To solve the problem, we need to calculate:
1. The value of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a 10-ounce block of cheese.
2. Then take half of that amount.
**Step 1: Calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \) of 10 ounces.**
\[
\frac{1}{5} \times 10 \text{ ounces} = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ ounces}
\]
**Step 2: Take half of the result from Step 1.**
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \text{ ounces} = 1 \text{ ounce}
\]
Therefore, \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a 10-ounce block of cheese is **1 ounce**.
