Answer:


\large\boxed{\mathtt{(5)/(5)}}

Explanation:


\textsf{We are asked for the missing fraction.}


\textsf{5/10 is being divided by an unknown fraction to equal 1/2.}


\textsf{Keep in mind that 5/10 = 1/2; Meaning that the unknown fraction will equal 1.}


\textsf{For dividing fractions, note that the Numberator and Denominator are \underline{both} affected.}


\textsf{Let's use the Inverse Operation to find the missing fraction. (Multiplication)}


\mathtt{(1)/(2) * (?)/(?) = (5)/(10)}


\textsf{We can simply identify that we can multiply 1/2 by 5/5 to get the product of 5/10.}


\mathtt{(1)/(2) * (5)/(5) = (5)/(10)}


\underline{\textsf{Our missing fraction is;}}


\large\boxed{\mathtt{(5)/(5)}}

Option 5 is the answer. (5/5)

When you divide 5/10 by 5/5, the result will be 1/2. Therefore, 5/10 and 1/2 are equivalent fractions.
