Question

What is 5/10 of one dollar?

Answer 1

`50c`

Explanation:

`5/10 = (1xx5)/(2xx5) = 1/2`

So `5/10` of one dollar is the same as `1/2` of one dollar, ie `50`c.

Answer 2

`50 cents`

Explanation:

`frac 5 10` of a dollar will be equal to `50 cents` because if we'll bring `frac 5 10` to it's lowest terms it will be equal to: `frac 1 2`
which is half of anything, so, half of a dollar will be equal to `50 cents`.
Verifying it:
`1 dollar = 100 cents`
Therefore,
`50 cents * 2 = 100 cents`
`100 cents = 100 cents`
Hence, verified.
