To find [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] of 10, follow these steps:
1. Understand the problem: You are asked to find what [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] (one-fifth) of 10 is. This means you need to multiply [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] by 10.
2. Set up the multiplication: Write the problem as a multiplication expression:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{5} \times 10
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication: Multiply the fraction by the whole number.
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{5} \times 10 = \frac{10}{5}
\][/tex]
4. Simplify the fraction: Simplify [tex]\(\frac{10}{5}\)[/tex] to its simplest form.
[tex]\[
\frac{10}{5} = 2
\][/tex]
Thus, [tex]\(\frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] of 10 is [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
