To find out how many ounces are in \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a block of cheese, we first need to establish the total weight of the block of cheese in ounces.
Assuming the block of cheese is 1 block and we need to express that in ounces.
1. Calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the block:
\[
\frac{1}{5} \text{ of 1 block} = \frac{1}{5} \text{ block}
\]
2. Next, calculate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of that amount:
\[
\frac{1}{2} \text{ of } \frac{1}{5} \text{ block} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{10} \text{ block}
\]
Thus, \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a block of cheese is \( \frac{1}{10} \) of a block of cheese.
If we assume the block of cheese is a standard block weighing 8 ounces (common for many types of cheese), we can convert \( \frac{1}{10} \) of a block into ounces:
\[
\frac{1}{10} \text{ of 8 ounces} = 8 \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.8 \text{ ounces}
\]
Therefore, if the block of cheese weighs 8 ounces, then \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a block of cheese would be **0.8 ounces**.
If you have a different total weight for the block of cheese, you can substitute that weight into the calculation instead.
