Answer:

5

Explanation:

We need to find an expression for the calculation, divide 10 in half and subtract from 50 divided into fifths .

The statement '' divide 10 into half '' means we need to divide 10 by 2, such that we get
(10)/(2)=5 (i)

The statement '' 50 divided into fifths '' means we need to divide 50 by 5 i.e,
(50)/(5)=10 (ii)

According to question, on subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
(50)/(5)-(10)/(2)=10-5=5
