Question
How many ounces are in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of c
heese?
1 2/5 ounces
1 4/5 ounces
2 ounces
4 ounces
To find the solution, follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply 1/2 by 1/5.
(1/2) * (1/5) = 1/10
Step 2: Multiply the result by the 10-ounce block of cheese.
1/10 * 10 = 1
Therefore, there are 1 ounce in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of cheese.
To find the answer to this question, we need to multiply the fractions and then multiply the result by the weight of the block.
First, multiply the fractions:
1/2 * 1/5
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1 * 1) / (2 * 5) = 1/10
Next, multiply the result by the weight of the block, which is 10 ounces:
1/10 * 10
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator by the whole number:
1/10 * 10/1 = 10/10
Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 10:
10/10 = 1
Therefore, there are 1 ounce in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of chocolate.
