5 tenths is the same an one-half (1/2). :)
You solve this by dividing 1 1/2 by 1/10.
1/2 one half
1/2 = 5/10
one half 1/2
25 tenths.
There are five tenths in a half. 5/10 = 1/2
no a half is five tenths 1/2 = 5/10 which is less than 7/10.
7 1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 7 + 0.5 = 7.5 (5 tenths) * * * * * I suspect that the question was about how many tenths in the whole of seven and a half. That is, 7.5/(1/10). And the answer to that , is 75
It is 1/2 of 8/10 = 2/5 in its simplest form
Fifteen 1 and a half = 3/2 3/2 x 5/5 = 15/10

5 tenths or 5/10 is the same as 1/2 or a half.
1 and 3 twentieths
1/2 (a half) This is because 5 is half of 10.
Ten tenths equal 1. So to find half of that, devide both sides by 2; you end up with 5 tenths equal one half.
