Let's break down the steps for solving part (a) of the given problem where we need to evaluate [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] of 10.
### Part (a): Calculate [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] of 10
1. Understanding the Problem:
- We are asked to find what half of 10 is. This is equivalent to multiplying 10 by [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex].
2. Set Up the Expression:
- The mathematical expression can be written as:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 10
\][/tex]
3. Perform the Multiplication:
- Multiply [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] by 10:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 10 = 5
\][/tex]
4. Result:
- The result of [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] of 10 is:
[tex]\[
5.0
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] of 10 is 5.0.
### Part (b):
Since part (b) of the problem is not provided, we cannot evaluate it at this moment. If you have further details or another question, please provide them, and I would be happy to help you with it.
