Answer:
Option A. 1/2
is the correct answer.
Explanation:
We are given with = 1/5
We want the result to be = 1/10
Let the fraction we want to know is X so
According to given condition:
[tex]1/5 * X = 1/10[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 5 we get:
[tex]5 * 1/5 *X = 1/10 *5[/tex]
As we know the cancellation property = [tex]a * 1/a = 1[/tex]
So By simplifying:
[tex]X = 1/10 * 5[/tex]
As 5 and 10 are multiples of 5 so they will be cancelled to give:
[tex]X = 1/2[/tex]
Hence when 1/5 will be multiplied by 1/2 the product is 1/10.
I hope it will satisfy you!
