To answer this question we first need to write it down as an equation. Five tenths can be written as 5/10. This fraction works out to the decimal 0.5. The next step is to know that "of" means "multiplied by." For example, 4 groups of 7 is 4x7. Finally, the dollar should be written down as 100cents to make this easier. This makes the sum 0.5x100, which equals 50. Thus 5 tenths of a dollar is 50 cents.
