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

Answer 1

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 2

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

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.
