two and one half times one fifth = 1/22 1/2 = 5/22 1/2 * 1/5 = 5/2 * 1/5 = 1/2
1/5 x 1/2 is 1/10
It means: 1/2 times 1/5 times 20 = 2
4 and 1/2 x 1/5 = 9/10
As we learned in the fourth grade, the word 'of' means 'times' or multiplication. This is a very powerful tool. 1 tenth of 1 fifth of 1 half of 12,000 = (1/10)(1/5)(1/2)(12,000) = 12,000/100 = 120
It is: 1/2 times 1/5 = 1/10

One half of one fifth is one tenth. You just 'double' the denominator if you want to get half of the fraction.

No, half of 1/4 would be 1/8th.
1 1/5
1/5 (one fifth)
One half of a fifth is equivalent to one-tenth. To find one half of a number, you divide the number by 2. In this case, a fifth is equal to 1/5, so dividing 1/5 by 2 gives you 1/10, which is one-tenth.
