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**.
