In order to calculate the product of 0.5 and 10, there are different methods that can be used.

One of them is converting 0.5 into a fraction, and then multiplying the fraction by 10.

So we have:


\begin{gathered} 0.5=(5)/(10)=(1)/(2) \\ \\ (1)/(2)\cdot10=(10)/(2)=5 \end{gathered}

Therefore the product of 0.5 and 10 is equal to 5.
