Answer:

This is true because the order of operations applies. In this case, we have to divide the 1/5 by 2 first and then get the result.

Dividing 1/5 by 2 is the same as multiplying 1/5 by 1/2, which is equivalent to multiplying the numerator and denominator by 1/2.

(1/5) * (1/2) = (1 * 1)/(5 * 2) = 1/10

So, (1/5)/2 = 1/10

This is also true because dividing a fraction by another fraction is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, and so dividing 1/5 by 2 is the same as multiplying 1/5 by 1/2.

That's why the answer is 1/10.
