You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the fraction is to have a denominator that is a multiple of 5, and the fraction must be equivalent to 1/2, then the possible denominators are the multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, ....
5/10 is a fraction with a prime numerator and a denominator that is a multiple of 5.
But any other fraction equivalent to 1/2 and with a denominator that is a multiple of 5 would just be the fraction 5/10, multiplied top and bottom by some integer.
But that would make the numerator not prime. So not only is 5/10 and answer to the problem, it is the ONLY answer.
