Final answer:

Each student will receive 1/10 of the pack of paper when a half pack is divided among 5 students.Correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much of the student will receive when a teacher has 1/2 of a pack of paper to share among 5 students, we divide the half pack of paper by the number of students. Mathematically, this looks like:

(1/2) ÷ 5 = 1/2 ÷ 1/5 = (1×5) / (2×5) = 1/10

Therefore, each student will receive 1/10 of the pack of paper.
