This is actually a simple math problem, let's take it apart word for word.
two-fifths = 2/5
of = x (times)
one-half = 1/2
A fraction is actually just an expression of a simple division problem, so we can approach this one of two ways:
2/5 = 0.4 and 1/2= 0.5
0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2
Or we can leave the fractions as are and multiply straight across:
2 1 2
-- x -- = --
5 2 10
Which can be simplified (you have to divide the top and bottom by the SAME number)
So, 2/2 over 10/2 = 1/5
To double check, divide 1 by 5 and look at your top answer...both are 0.2
