Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, we need to isolate the "n."

Get 5 to the other side by dividing both sides by 5

(n-1/10)= 1/2 ÷(5)

Multiply the 2 and the 5 of the equation.

(n-1/10)= 1/10

Next, move the fraction on the left side, to the right.

n= 2/10

Reduce.

n= 1/5
