Answer:

3/5 (Already there but I wanted to put an explanation)

Explanation:

first you want to change the 1/2 to work better with the 1/10. The way you can do is change the 1/2 to be 5/10 by multiplying both sides of the fraction by 5 so that it is out of 10 rather than out of 2. you then add 5/10 to 1/10 to get x=6/10. since 6/10 can be simplified by 2, you divide both sides of the fraction by 2 to get 3/5=x
