Question

how many ounces are in 1/2 of 1/5 of a ten ounce cheese block

Answer 1

a group of 9 people won 1/5 of 4,500 prize. how many did each person get

Answer 2

To find out how many ounces are in \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a 10-ounce cheese block, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \) of 10 ounces:**
\[
\frac{1}{5} \times 10 = 2 \text{ ounces}
\]

2. **Now calculate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the result (2 ounces):**
\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \text{ ounce}
\]

So, \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a 10-ounce cheese block is **1 ounce**.

Answer 3

To find out how much each person in a group of 9 received from a prize of $4,500 that they won \( \frac{1}{5} \) of, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the total amount won by the group:**
\[
\frac{1}{5} \times 4500 = 900 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Divide the total amount by the number of people (9) to find out how much each person gets:**
\[
\frac{900}{9} = 100 \text{ dollars}
\]

Therefore, each person received **$100**.
