How many ounces are in 1/2

Question

of 1/5
of a 10-ounce block of cheese?(1 point)
ounce(s)

Answer 1

To find out how many ounces are in \( \frac{1}{2} \) of \( \frac{1}{5} \) of a 10-ounce block of cheese, we can 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 2 ounces: \[ \frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \text{ ounce} \]

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