Letter C - Because 1/50×5= 1/10, 1/10 divided by 5 is 1/50 .

Step-by-step explanation:

1/10 divided by 5/1
= 1/10 • 1/5
= 1/50
—————-
1/50 • 5/1
- 50 and 5 have a common factor, which is 5
- Five divided by 5 = 1
- fifty divided by 5 = 10

(Do note that any number alone, like 5, is the same as 5/1 because it’s one unity of 5)
