Answer 1

`(50)/(5) - (10)/(1/2)`

Explanation:

Given

• a: Divide 10 in half
• b: 50​ divided into fifths.

Required

An expression for
`b - a`

a: Divide 10 in half

This implies that:

`a = (10)/(1/2)`

b: 50​ divided into fifths

This implies that

`b = (50)/(5)`

So, we have:

`b - a =`

`(50)/(5) - (10)/(1/2)`
